We are still in the middle of prop testing and not been able to hold it wide open in the neutral position for any length of time. We have been as fast as 98-99 on gps then it starts to have problems with a chine walk and porpoise then I have to get out of the throttles . We are hoping some larger dia. props will settle her down a bit , we just need more testing

yes...new engine is built and ready to be dropped in. New instrument cluster was completed this week. Xmas package from CP Performance arrived last night with the heads up tab/trim indicators and cables...expect those to be installed early next week, then engine dropped in...
all that's left is waiting for the ice to come out of the lake...I will update a complete set of pics in a week or so

photo bucket won't let me post pics...I'll get a membership here later in the week for that. the boat got in the water finally 3 weeks ago. With the rain we've had, I've only manage to burn off little more than 1 tank of fuel. An easy built up in RPM as the hours begin to accumulate. Today was windy, a bit of a chop on the lake...no idea how to gauge how high...say around a foot...3500 RPM, 50 MPH GPS...she skipped across the tops barely a shudder or jar. This bish just keeps getting better and better. It was a helluva struggle to get to the point of her getting in the water, but it appears it was worth it.
