Well we just got home from a fanstatic day on the River, all afternoon testing props and getting Brett the info he wants on this set. Tucked the boat back in the garage for the night, little wipe down with some detailer, nothing's too good for my baby after her performance today. Stopped and had dinner, a celebratory sort of dinner, and then came home to watch the days videos. Gotta tell you boys, There is a new Sheriff in Town. To quote Thirdbird and sum it all up Unfugginbelievable !!!! I may have the biggest number ever posted by a stock, non dicked with 35 side by side 525 Fountain sitting on my GPS recall right now. And I ain't blowin' smoke out my arse, I can prove it, GPS recall and video shot while running of the tachs and speedo. This Black Biotch runs!!!

:worthless _without_p

Ok, so how many of you flockin' bastiges knew about the extension boxes?

Well boys it ain't going to be enough. Axa is running pretty well, boat attitude seems better. Since I did show him this today I will now share it with the rest of you.

Read it and weep boys!!! This was saturday afternoon, lite on fuel, into the wind and upstream, and on rails.
These props have yet to be labbed or dialed in. Stay tuned boys it can only get better from here.

what extension boxes???

Pete,

That is very impressive !!!
What props are using? Did you try the Herrings yet or are they the 5 blade Maximas?
I finally got in the water myself yesterday to try some props from Brett at BBlades.
They worked out great for me as well. Not the numbers you getting mind you. I was looking for something to pick up my mid range.

As the Black Biotch sits now, here is how I see things,

Bird is my buddy so I won't pick on him.

Got Twins is put away @ 3500-3600 RPM, a nice slow cruise setting, good for sightseeing.

Rippem goes down around 4200-4300 RPM, a comfortable faster cruise.

5PM is fast becoming history @ 4600-4700 RPM, starting to get into the program, but not real serious about it just yet.

Axa, he is hanging in there, we can wait and see what happens here once he's ready. We were not, however, in the new action video camera shooting the rear view of his boat today. Come to think of it, I don't remember see that "Chillin' the Most" sticker at all.

Have several videos that Samantha shot standing over my shoulder of the gauges that you can watch, and see yourselves go Bye Bye Boys. Ask Axa, he has seen them.

There's a New Sherrif in Town boys, and she's a Black Biotch!!!

The big black ones bolted to the transom now. You out of the Flocker loop?

BTW, you think the bird will "soar" to these numbers?

I had no idea that little 1/2 ton gasser of yours would tow it this fast.

I don't need a He-Man hauler to post up the big numbers. I'll just do it on the water where you're supposed to do it.

All I can say is those are pretty big numbers. That black beaker is doing some pretty serious speeds. This might be a very interesting shoot-off. Hope you guys are going to wait till the whole crowd is there for the show.

Pete, you're crowing pretty loudly. But, it looks like you have reason to.

Axa, pretty silent in your corner, any punches left?
