Congratulations!



122 with a pair of 300XS is no easy task

Would love to post more photos, but (pardon the poor grammar) what you see is what I got. :)

beautiful boat and impressive speeds.

great project! Wish I wasn't out of town on NYE for the run to see her in person.

That's impressive! I don't know if the 400's would do any better?

Wow thats great. Congrats. Would love to know the weight on the hull. Also dimension on the props. Pitch, Diam, and Rake.

400 DW with canopy ran 124 mph. Got to DW section if interested.

Nasty these are the props. They were bought, reconditioned and the barrels reduced. These are also the wheels that ran on the 300xs test in the SBI Marathon race comparing the 300xs to the 280ros. The numbers are stamped on the props in the pics

Thanx very much Todd, My rig didn't run well with any 4 blade that Merc had to offer. Im gonna try some herrings in the spring. Sounds like these are the ticket but my rig is noticeably heavier than the DWs may not work for me. Ill talk to them about it. Thanx again. Steve
