Not the case at all, these props have been run on two (2) afternoons, saturday with a lite fuel load and then sunday full of fuel to get a real picture of what they might be capable of. The 94 was repeated numerous times on saturday afternoon lite on fuel, a number of them captured on video. Samantha stood behind the bolster and filmed it. Want to see? Send a stamped self adressed envelope and I'll have Samantha burn you a disc. I'd post them, but don't have a clue how to do that. Now call me stipid.

That was not the number on sunday, nor did I say anywhere that it was. The number up was 89-90 up river and into the wind with Axa, though it did run 92 on the trip back down river later on. Which is why the next step here is to see if these props can be worked to better cary the extra weight and still get up to the better speed. I'm not the prop wizzard here, just the guinea pig. I was given an opportunity here and I plan to take full advantage of what Brett is willing to do for me. If it seems like I'm playing these props up it's cause I am, Brett/BBlades deserves the plug here, he did me right and I'm just trying to return something to him. Who knows they might even perk up that sled of yours. The crusing speeds with these are real nice as well, my cruise is approaching your WOT.

As far as posting the picture,,, I am quite pleased with the deal. Call it what you want, it's still a stock powered 35' Vee bottom running 94 mph, and I'm real proud of that. It's a couple more than I ever expected to get to.

That would be true, on either side of the fence here.

I wouldn't expect anything less.

Who wants to race down route 81 with a full load .... trailer/boat ... truck both full of fuel.

I think I got all of you .....

LOL .... LOL .....

Barney Fife looking to take on the " New Sheriff " ? You need to be careful what you ask for on here, someone may take you up on that. I know a guy with some high speed trailering experience, maybe this time I can drive and we'll use his boat to take you on. Make sure you get it on video so you can show us who you put away.

I see on another thread you are working with BBlades on some props, how's that going? I spent an hour on the phone with him this afternoon. He is one real sharp guy, he is starting a second set of props for the Black Biotch. Says the number can definetly go up with what he has in mind.

Rigs Back to back, 25' tow strap between them, let's see who tows who down the road............duramax and the myco are taking all challengers......Pete you'll be happy to hear we ran into a one week launch delay, looks like next Friday........

You're on! So long as I can make some adjustments to the 1/2 ton gasser. I'm thinking taking my steering wheel out, then slip a 1 ton DRW 4X4 chassis under it.
Think of it as dialing in the gasser.

Why would I be happy to hear??? I've got all you guys by a month already.

$4.70 a gallon for 89 in Oswego, how's the bay?
