a 34 canopy run with those 1200's, that would be scary fast

Been thinking the same thing.....an inboard version of the Yacht's 32 Doug Wright that Grant rigged or a cut down 328 Skater with twin turbo small blocks and Arnesons would be awesome. Anyone know why no one has played around with small blocks in smaller cats yet?

I've only run the boat about 6 times and that pic was the first time with 15lbs of boost and 40 Herings. Unfortunately I broke a blade that day so we put on 38s and bump the limiters up to over 7000 for Saturday.

I definitely don't profess to be in the same top end category as Bill or Gino but Tommy and Grant definitely have it running well......going from the throttle body injection to the multi port injection that Bill is running gave me a huge bump in torque. The extra 3lbs of boost didn't hurt either!

+1 congrats to them on a great run. There was an alarm that went off before the bridge and Darrell backed out of it some. First open cockpit boat to the bridge... not bad for a set of lil ol' 1200's :drink:

yea you can call that home court advantage! bill i run that line quite often making a lick. I was just trying not to hit the sailboat that wondered into our line. That would have been worse than the no wake marker i rubbed last year:hitit:
