Liberator Running Strong
 
Well, not strong for most of you guys...but after several years I finally got some video from outside my boat. Unfortunately, I had my lilly pad strapped to the back on both occasions....but it will have to do for now. Not completley wound out in either video, but pretty close.

72.2 is my best on GPS with all the normal gear on board. I swear at the end of the year (soon) when I pull everything off the boat I'm going to take it for a rip just me. I don't have a picture of that one. This is the best photo I have from two (or maybe 3?) seasons back. But I've seen higher than that several times after I labbed the prop. I would guess I may be able to get 73+ in the right conditions/load it will run 69/70 all day now with wife, kids, and the damn lily pad strapped to the back, lol.

BBlades is working on a Mirage Plus 25P for mine now. Should have it by the weekend. The 4 blades just dont get the bow high enough with my current X dimension. She was hitting 74 to 75 on a borrowed stock one when we tested at Little River. And still had 800 RPMs in the box.Hope Brad can tease a few more RPMs and MPH outta of the ole girl.

I'm sure he will find a lot more. I wish I could raise my x-dimension about 2". But with an OMC drive, that's not easy without a swap. I did try another prop for more bow lift and found it just made the boat squirly...that said I don't even have tabs.
