I can attest to the comments already made about those motors cranking up every time & idling like a set of 500's.. (However with just a little more bite..
)
As Eddie said the boat ran flawless today & I will say that I have spent my entire life around race cars & boats of all sorts... I have personally raced & drove about anything & everything I could get my --- in since I was a kid.. From karts, to drag cars, to wicked fast street cars , to Nascar Late Model stock , to many hot rod boats ect..ect... & I was blow alway how mild mannered these 1200/1400's were !!!! Amazing !!! We ran all day today at various rpm's - pulling on and off plane countless times , started up & shut down countless times all day long & not one single time did it even give a hint of a spit or sputter , stall , or fail to start as Soon as the ignition was hit... Really hard to believe with that kind of power... Eddie tuned & tuned & then tuned some more , & then tunned again.. Meticulous would be a major understatement..
Lastly I will add that I have been blessed to have had allot of really cool experiences in my short 33 years but today was a day that will not be soon forgotten !! Over the last year or two Eddie done Allot to help me out & has truly treated me better than I really know how to say !! Thanks again buddy !!

It was my pleasure to be able to take you for a ride. I just wish the conditions would have been better so we could have stood on it. I was really worried about banging up the props or worse, ripping the drives off on one of those 50' trees floating in the lake. I should be thanking you for the help with the wideband.
I will keep an eye out for any more parts to get you going. Talk to you soon, Eddie.

really as if all the logs weren't bad enough but yeah passing up entire freaking trees at triple digits was bit unnatural feeling & quite an experiance in itself..
Anytime on the help !!
