Certainly not big water, or long wot times, just a typical Wednesday afternoon of horseplay. Running from "the playpen" , back to 31st harbor. Its all about having fun .

Wow I've missed some great videos in the last week and a half, been consumed with the start of Kitchen, living room, and master bedroom remodel! that will last all summer (since I will be doing all the work). BUT very refreshing to see the videos and hear the sounds of SUMMER!! helps me with this project to see boating video, SO lets see somemore with roaring engines!!!
PS if I keep my wife happy with the remodel, then I can justify a new to me boat next year......????? maybe!

Think I was the fastest boat on the east bay today. That's the Grand Traverse Resort on the far horizon. On the water in Feb. in Traverse City, Michigan.

That was just fooling around , about 3500-4000. Around the docks with the mufflers closed, its not too bad at all. With the mufflers off completely, and the new heads, its prettty nasty around the docks. I modified the original stellings tails last winter. They had baffles in them from stellings. I removed them, when i shortened the tails to fit the clamp on mufflers.
Do your stellings tails have those baffles in them?

Just straight through. I did a lot of muffler testing in the 90's of all different sorts for a guy in the SS business. Literally night after night. That's when the water cops were really cracking down. I paid several fines then. Only thing that didn't rob power for me at the time was drew shotguns. Of course my ol mans boat could be much louder than mine but they always wanted the cocky looking young guy and let the gray haired older guy cruise on by them as he would tip his hat to them and look back and laugh at me getting my fenders out. Now that I'm getting to be that gray haired guy hopefully they'll cut me some slack this year. Lol.
