If you decide to do that call me and I'll take you threw his shop is right next door to my office. Ron comes highly recommended as does Eddie. I spoke to Eddie as well. I too went with Ron because he is next door to my office-warehouse. After 8 months of working on this project together we have became pretty good friends in the process.

One thing for sure we will do this agin if we stay boating long enough. I was raised in this crap so it runs threw my veins I will be here until I stop breathing. So for more power or less we will do this again at some point.

Well, all of us except for negative Nancy...he'll be camped out at Best Buy waiting for the new Justin Bieber record to come out.
LMFAO. You hit that on the head too late. Stand by a little longer. We are going to finish this thing in orderly fashion .

I think you will be very happy with the acceleration,,,,
Wildman I have some measurements for you. The angle threw the transom looks perfect from behind. This should get us past the pocket in the swim platform. Ron wrote all the measurements down for me. I told him I wanted them for future work on the exhaust. He said great idea and wanted me to hang on to them in case he needed them again too. I'll hook you up when I get home Thursday or Friday.

Good to hear you're real close to splash down. Next is prop testing. Always a lot of fun...

As I have heard Jake. I'm going to call Prop Gods in for this job. I already know by talking with my Fountain Family that the Hydro's work best on the single step 32. I don't have the shorties on my drives but being Prop Gods will bring out everything that I want try with them it won't hurt a thing to try the 5 blade Hydro. I want to try that one in preticular. I will try anything else the tech things from there. Hopefully we will have the fastest props by the end of the day. Anyone else you think I should try besides the guys at Prop Gods for this job?
