Took the boat out again today to try and get some gopro videos with the camera mounted on the transom. Videos came out good even at only 720p. I was by myself so was going to try and beat my high speed run of 98 mph I ran yesterday and hope to see triple digits. I didn't better my speed, but I do need more prop. On top of that I was able to watch my boost gauge and I think I'm going to have to go with a scoop. On first tip in the boost jumps to 6-6.5. Afternoon a couple seconds the boost drops to 5 and at one point it was at 4.5. I think the motor is sucking the engine room of all the air. It only has two nacaducts (spelling?) supplying air with no rear vents of any kind. I feel a reversed facing scoop with help to pull more air in and allow hot air to get out. I was going to test the theory by running with the hatch cracked open, but I was afraid of it catching air and ripping off.

Either way mid-upper 90's is very exciting for the first weekend out with new blower setup and wrong prop.

Hope you guys like the video. Open to comments on cool camera locations.

One more thing. The boat is cleaned after every weekend, but the swim deck turns brown from the water color with in 20 minutes of running. The water is from the dry tail dumps. After hull cleaner its pure white, but then back to brown after minutes or running.

I love the blower surge as well. I've had to learn how to shift on the low swings, but worth it for the great idle sound. It swings between 800-1400.

I love it and don't mind waiting for it to drop down to slide into gear.

Blower surge= cool factor! I'll be there one day. But yes can be a pain to dock but might as well wait for the right time to drop it in gear. And perk up a few ears. Sounds great bud!
