125@55% throttle wow!! I hope you're wearing a life jacket.

How is the delivery situation going with Hering? I know Scot Conrad bought into the company with the goal of reducing production and delivery times. Has he succeeded?

Congrats on the successful 1st run! We need more pics and video.

Sweet Eddie thanks for all the information!

My pleasure. It was good talking to you. Do not hesitate to contact me in the future if you have any questions or need any advice, pointers or parts, or if you just want to bs.


Thanks Art.

I'm working on it. We did another thread with some short vids. Once I get it dialed in a little better(waiting on new props) I will get some longer and faster vids. Thanks, Eddie.

Ya I would like to hear some new info on the boat also how many hr's on the motors & drives since the re-build, if there is a good amount of time has the new owner pulled the trigger yet if so what speeds is he or she seeing. And how is the boat at speed. Thanks Eddie

Hey guys....been busy. I only had the chance to take the boat out one time since I got the new props and the weather turned to crap about 15 minutes after we left the dock. We were trying to beat it, but just couldn't make it. It took 2 months to get the new props, so it just sat waiting for them. I had to add some pumps to the oil system to pump the oil back into the dry sump tanks after the boats sits for a few days. After a couple days the oil will drain from the tanks, go through the filter, and end up in the pan. Then the tank is empty when you go to start it. It will put the oil back quickly, but it doesn't have any oil pressure until that happens. I put a pump on each engine to pump the oil from the pans back into the tanks before startup. I have also been working on the trailer quite a bit. It didn't have a bow stop, so it was hard to put in the same place. I also cut off the drive guard and capped the rear of the trailer. Everything had to be primed and painted. It also needed to have the wiring redone for the trailer lights. I also had to change the lifters in both engines. The clearances in the hydraulic roller lifters were to tight to run 20W50 oil.
With all that being said, I am going to try to run it tomorrow....weather permitting. It has been real hit or miss. I have had it to 127 mph so far. It drove good up until that point. The wind was really blowing and there were rollers hitting us from the side, so I didn't want to push it any more. Hopefully I will be able to stand on it and see what it does. I'll keep ya'll posted. Thanks, Eddie.
