yup. Caymus Special Selection. My son works for a pretty large distributor, so that eases the pain slightly... Wonder if she'd notice if I cut it with some Newman's or Coppola?

Finally had a chance to water test it today, been sitting a few years so was nervous, all went well!

Only big issue was was when they put steering rams back on after seals the lines were flipped, so if you steer right boat goes left! And so on... that was fun lol
Aside from that ran flawless, saw 70@5500 in literally flat water, some 4 blades and chop I’m sure there’s more, but happy it went away running!

Props now are 16.5x27 3 blades

Whats the drive ratio? 70 mph with 27 pitch seems low? Good to hear everything went well!
