Cigarette adventure year 5
 
This year I put clear bra material to protect the hatch, Side cig logos, and dash, various other parts on the boat that see lots of traffic.

Put the outer strakes back on that I removed 2 years ago and added a Tres Martin "wedge" . Eliminated the hop completely. She rides like a dream again.

Added intercoolers :
Not sure if I will keep. Idle is terrible surge is even worse. keeps dying in gear . Not a fan. None of those issues existed before the intercoolers.

How did the clear plastic protectors do??
How are the intercoolers being fed with water??
If water is always being pumped through them it can cause fuel puddling and a rich condition.

No issues with the film, besides the edges you`d never know it`s there.
Easy clean up.
I was feeding chillers at idle.
For one ride I cut off flow but it didn`t seem to affect them much.... but I didn`t have enough time to play with tune.
Water at idle really makes such a big difference?

YES!. Will cause poor Idle. Very Rich and then you have to continue cleaning them out. Plugs get fouled

So you put hook in it? Interesting.

But if the wedge is only outside of the lifting strakes it comes out of the water at higher speeds? Makes sense.

Dan, boat looks even more amazing in person. Enjoyed seeing you all at PBC Fall Harbor Hop with Kyle Lewis.

Dan, Did the wedge change your cruising speed or hurt top end much?

I'm interested in doing the same. IMO, even if it did cost a mph or two on the big end, It would be worth it to increase cruising efficiency where I'm normally dragging tab...
