The Jerry McConnell Memorial Run. Its put together by a couple of good friends. They used to boat out of Mentor, but now hang most of the time on the west end at the islands with us.

We run out of Lakeside Yacht Club in Cleveland and go either east or west up the Lake. Its usually in mid June. We get around 20 to 25 boats. Always a fun time. I'm sure Tim will find a link and post it.

Put in for my vacation time this morning .... :)

why change these motors out? sounds like they ran amazingly well!

Change out?? Nope, same motors, rebuilt this season after 5yrs. Only because I got a little to aggressive with timing and hurt a couple pistons. Running great again.


LE

That boat sound like it flys!!!
How about some pics of the boat. Any pics of it out of the water to see the imco set up

Thanks for the pic! I just put boxes on mine and I wanted to see how he set up his steering.

Old pict Tim..steering is the same. XR uppers, S/S cavitation plates, drive showers, billet caps, and lots of upgrades inside now. I'll post up a newer pict when I get back to home PC.

It did the job lol it showed the boxes haha

Here's a shot that may help. Wait till you get the quote from Latham for the steering parts....

Great video! You really have the boat dialed in, the acceleration is really strong from 80+.

Thanks. I eased into it up to 85 or so and you can hear me go WOT around 42seconds in.

LE

sweet!

you have no idea... lol if you are not hangin on, your on the floor...

So fun!!!

You guys wanna go fast??? I still find it amusing after all these years watching his fuel gauge literally drop.... lol

it hovers around half tank in beginning, then after a couple WOT passes its hovering just over 1/4 hahaha

Yeah, tell me about it..

Haha

We saw the boat Lake Effect when at Kelleys for the Marine Tech Fun Run this past summer. How is the boat running?

Running
Perfect!

All good this past season. Kept timing a little bit more conservative than in the previous years, but still pulled multiple 104mph runs. Just waiting to pull her out of hibernation.

I can't believe i missed this video, that is hauling.

anyone know what size prochargers he is using ?

I would guess M3's .....

He has M1's 7 lbs boost.

Would love some M3's, but I bought the boat with M1's. 12rib pulleys and spinning pretty close to max. Actually making 8lbs at 5800/5900rpm.

Even more impressive ....

Can't even imagine....Impressive..
