This hull comes out differently anyways, they actually install a vent into the notch to break it loose, like the vent hose on a six drive, so it needs to spin a little. The trick is the props need to be able break loose a little but keep moving the boat forward. It's a real fine line between a little and so much it looses it's bite altogether. Nature of the beast, I'll get it there.




Meantime, if Bob wants to drag race I say we do a full mile. That should give me a 1/4 to get it out, a 1/4 to run him down, and a 1/2 to put a 1/4 between us.

I thought he'd learn that those HIGH X's require some finesse.

Hey Ragged...Ease off on Rippem. Remember who helped you in the pouring rain...

Damn, somebody better teach that guy to drive by Saturday, last Sunday was the nicest day on Ontario so far and there was still a couple feet of slop out there.

Never heard of a two way, a three way maybe, but never a two way. You research that and get back to me.
