So that's the "original to the boat" swim platform? Luck to find that! As always looks good.

Here are a couple pics from Silver Glen, Central Florida on the St. Johns River off Lake George. The weather was amazing sunny and clear and cool at night.

Brett @ BBLADES send me a 22P Rev 4 and a 23P Mirage Plus to test, the boat ran 46 mph @ 4200 RPM with the Rev 4 and 43 MPH @ 4200 RPM with the Mirage on. Just picked up a labbed 22P Rev 4 prop from a fellow OSO'er. I'll run it this weekend hopefully the lab will give me a few more MPH...

Just finished testing a couple props from Brett @ Bblades. He sent me a 22P Rev 4 and a 21P Mirage Plus. She ran 46 mph @ 4200 rpm on the Rev 4 and 43 mph @ 4200 rpm. I just picked up a labbed 22P Rev 4 from a fellow OSO'er that I'll run this weekend. Hopefully pick up a couple more MPH with the labbing. I'll let you know. Now I have a Mirage 23P and two Laser II 21P & 25 P for sale if anyones looking...

Hope the testing continues to net you a few more MPH and get you close to that 50 mark Gator! Maybe a high rise or dual plane intake with a little bigger carb will make the difference if the props don't

That's the line I've been thinking along. I don't understand why I can't reach the 4600-4800 rpm range...
