Full as well, except for the burn from the Bay to Brockville at 40 mph. I was around 86mph. and you pulled me "By a couple". Considering the conditions, your recall really doesn't mean anything right now. Granted it's at 94 and I did see the proof. No doubt you ran the number, but you've had time to mess with it. Give me time, I think I can get close.

Not race motors! Stock with a few upgrades. Did you look under the hatch? I re-powdered the intake and it didn't seem to change the HP? And I have NO intentions of ordering any parts today. What I have is what I got...It will work once I get her dialed a little. How many sets of props have you tried? My Old labbed 30's is it so far and I know they are not enough...banging the limiter at 6k with 1/4 throttle left....hmmmmm.....

Thanks for the compliments, it's important to have your shine on . You might try the three coats of Collinite, seems to be quite aero-slick stuff.
Not gonna order anything, don't need it! You should have paid more attention to details!

You are welcome for the compliments, and they are well deserved.

The games HAVE begun! Now that I know what I need to get to......

Did you catch that subtle bit of conciliatory language Ragged??

"I think I can get close"

Sounds like you're admitting defeat Axa.

I know you were full as well, like I said, sunday was testing, don't count for chit.

Already agreed to as much time as you need, I ain't done here either.

Three sets,
The stock Bravos it came with, not bad, but.
The Maxes, suck big time, but who knows.
The PP 5 blades, have some real possibilities here.

86 mph X 1.25% = 107.50 mph! Boy am I in trouble here.

Remember this is all on the table here per your statement, no more parts added. Run it as it sat on sunday? Proping to dial it in to run it's best excepted. No more secrets? Right? You will remember you said it here, right? I'll promise here and now that other than prop dial in I will not change a thing, no computer re-maps or anything, and you have already stated the same above. We on the same page here?

Remember also that this is all in good clean fun here, lets not get carried away.

Somehow I just don't think all the cards are on the table here just yet. This is out of character, and it just don't smell right to me.

to you too, I'll bet there's something to that deal!

Can't lay ALL the cards on the table yet...just being a little reserved until I get more time to mess with it!

Re-read my post...I DID NOT order any parts and WILL not.

You can read into that anyway you wish. I think I have some "other props" laying around somewhere yet. I'll have to get back to ya!

can't wait to see how those "other props" work out.

I don't see Axa ordering anything additional either...I believe he already posesses what it's gonna take.

Already stated proping to dial in is expected to be done on both boats, don't care if you have them, relab them, or buy new to get it where you want it. I'd even consider Herings to be within the scope of proping.

The question was whether or not you plan to bolt something on that was not there sunday. Was I supposed to look in the back of the truck? HBWs shop? Under a rock someplace? Are additional bolt ons fair game for you? If so what about me? Like short Sportmasters and a new computer, or maybe some Whipples?

You seem to be back pedaling here and avoiding answering the questions asked. They were simple straight foreward questions, easily answered, so what's the problem here old buddy? If you plan to, or want to change the agenda here just come right out and say so. It's fine with me. Just be honest and tell me the rules you decide to play by.

Like I said, something just don't smell right here. Cause 88 to 94, make that 95 to go by, just is never comming out of a little prop change when he's already running his A game props now. What it was "posessing" on sunday is going to need more than a little prop work or change. You've been around long enough to know that, at least I assume that would be the case. You all think I miss the little comments here? I am for sure smarter than that, believe me.

Y'all.
