Running left first because I hooked the shift up backwards. I'll try the right soon.

Prop shaft is right at 2" below. 19.5" X with a negative -1 lower. It accelerates level and runs flat. These things are only 6' wide at the transom!

Major rush to finish for the first trip. Got it close enough to run as is for the rest of the summer.

Thank you. We are at the Grand Lake Shootout this weekend. I'm not sure where else we'll make it this year besides local trips.

Looks fantastic. Brings back memories when Billy Baldwin I believe your 27 rolled into Houston brand new and we Cruised Clear Lake before he took to Canyon Lake . It had the 370 trs. I have only seen in person two 27 flush decks Billy's and Dale Moungers which Dales had big power with # 5

dales boat was a wicked 1
it used to come to the glass shop before I got it
saw it through its stages of power and when he went to the #5
is 1 of the reasons I picked up the 1 I have now

Thanks guys. We survived the weekend with minimal issues. Off the trailer day 1 I had to run down the lake into white capping rollers for 5 miles. Once I survived that I figured we'd make the weekend. I have no seat time in something this narrow and light. It is very light in the nose and wanted to "kite". It made for a fun ride letting it run loose. Ran it up to 78 on the way to the ramp before it started to hop. It's got 80 in it as is with this power. I still haven't tried a RH prop.
