Ok, so let's set the date for this "MAIN EVENT" !!!!

According to those stats that Pete is quoting I will need to arrive the day before to get down the river.

It must be all that polishing that Pete did over the winter.

Or
Is that just a protective sticker you get when you buy new guages showing you where you "could" get to with a meticulate race boat like Pete's.

Things that make you go hmmmm ......

LOL .... LOL .....

Pete once again those are some pretty serious numbers ..... I hope that "Black Biotch" is still together when I finally get to see it.

Well I'm feeling pretty good about where this prop testing is going. Seems to be a real easy way to increase my speed, though I did have to make an investment in a torque wrench. It's just like waxin', Props on......Props off. Speed goes up, Life is good.

Well I think yesterday was only a little teaser run. Though someone did have a nifty little waterproof video camera mounted on the swim platform, and the big number 4 blades sitting there behind the shinny new ext boxes. I was working on the test program for Brett and had it loaded with fuel to see how these props carry the extra weight. Could only pull 89-90 into a strong wind, and what Axa termed a very strong current. On the way home it did hit 92 going into the Brockville Narrows, less fuel but still showing almost full on the gauges, who knows, this program is just getting started. I don't remember what Axa said he was running and his GPS recall still won't work . Mine however is working just fine, as you can see!

I can wait for the crowd to gather, and I'm sure Axa is sitting there this morning scratching his head and searching the internet for some more trick set ups.

Anyone hear / seen how well the footage from the new high tech "Stern Cam" turned out.................................Of Bobs 31 Sonic??????? Had yet to be downloaded when we had to leave HBW yesterday. Maybe the Sonic wasn't the intended subject matter.

Whenever you boys want, send the invite, I promise to RSVP, in person.

I am crusing at 3500 showing almost 60 mph. You take it from there.

Wax has nothing to do with it, just old school thinkin', testin', learnin', and a little can do attitude.

Axa can verify for you that there is no fake sticker on that speedo, he has seen it up close and in person. And I might remind you these are not real race boats, so we've been told. Mine is just a plain old everyday run of the mill Fountain. It just has this odd quirky habit of acting like one.

Or things that make you go UH-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

...............................

Blue Motors!!! Run em' like ya' stole em'.

I couldn't agree with you more. Here's mine, in case you missed it. Where are the ones from the Formula camp? I would think an honest progress report would be in order here. After all, this is all in good fun here right? Nobody is really all that serious about this chit, are they? True sportsmanship and all that, would be like you playing golf with your buds and using some secret wepon golf balls. Shame on you!

Secrets amoungst buds? Lets put the cards on the table here, no more of this extra aces hidden up the shirt sleves. Extension Boxes just slip your minds here? Just happened to forget to mention that? May be a means to an end here, but really goes against the "Good Buds Code". My money says there are a few more tricks that have yet to crawl out from under the rock. And even money says some of you have been given a look see under the old Formula rock.

The best of the Black Biotch so far, click on it twice and you can see it's an honest 94, not close to, or almost, actually it's just past 94, and you can count on me trying to better it. Game On Boys !!!

16mph from the storage yard today. Great numbers Pete. I'm confused though, who has boxes? Sonic Bob?

No, Sonic Bob is the only one who could possibly show up in the high tech butt cam. Your long time friend and bestest ever bud Axa has the Extension Boxes. WTF did he leave you out of the loop on this clandestine opp as well? Flockers out of the loop? WTF?

You might want to reconsider which side of the fence you want to plant your arse on here bud.

BTW, bout time you blow the cobwebs off that thing. Some of us have been running for a month already. F' golf, its boatin' season!

Boxes, Boxes, Boxes...Get your boxes!!

It was pretty funny when Pete looked at the back of the boat for the first time and said I was cheating! Didn't know I had a set of rules to follow. When he said there was something hanging off the back of the boat, I jumped on the sun pad and said "What, where? Oh...those!"

Ragged ran real good yesterday, the boat looked awesome. Real classy, and of course clean. He has me by a couple right now. But in my defense, I have 1.7 hours on the new power and my same old props. Let the testing begin! No more secrets here, you've seen it all. Just got to get her dialed in, might try some different props, when I get a chance. Haven't even bolted on the 5 blades yet, but I will.

As far as the stern cam and the recall button??? I have NO idea what's going on there. A little technical issue to deal with and it will all be fine. I have to change the camera angle a little to show more of the water and less of my bow. Consider it work in progress.

I have to focus on the race boat for the next week or so We will be in Ocean City, Maryland on Thrusday and race on Sunday. Hope to test on Oneida tomorrow or Wednesday.

Here is a few shots of the TOP Secret box installation!

Awwwwwee

I'll need to tag along with you Jeff.

Those gauges probably do come with wannabe little stickers on 'em.
