Yeah Nick, which friend

What kind of power in the 357?

I'll bet your boat will love the 320 EFI... what kind of speeds are you shooting for? Am I going to get passed?

My boat is running GREAT, all systems seem to be working well, knock on wood. I am now working through getting the right prop. I talked to KAAMA/Mark this week and I think I know what I need (our boats are extremely similar). So basically I need to try/find a set of hydromotive p5x's.

Until I get the right prop, I'll be the guy taking a half mile getting up on plane

Either way, I figure this summer will be just as much anchoring as running... so top speed is nice, but saving gas it too.

Todd...Does a bear poop in the woods? We are out every weekend unless something major is wrong. Until the water warms up we will likely spnd most of the weekend in hanky. The lakeshore has been very cold with the low water temps. Even the beach in the channel is freezing. We went running last saturday until the bell housing flew into pieces.

Hey Steve, great to hear from you! Been missin' yah' at Brann's on Thursdays. Actually Mike still has the 311, should be operational early next week. The 357 I've been talking about was bought by my Buddy Shaun down in LOTO last week. That was a fun trip, very nice boat. I've got about 3 more hours of mech. work on it and I feel he will have a solid boat for the season. The ride from Holland to Saugatuk and back Thursday re-affirms my bellief in that. Mike and have not looked at that 357 yet. With the "investment " he made this year, I think its just ME looking at that 357
Jeff, good to hear everything is running good! I have no i-deer what to expect out of the 185 this year. All I know is, a stock 260 is NOT ENOUGH!!! . Feel free and give me a shout when you head out, I would love to drop anchor with yah some time .
Hey Todd, I'll throw a post up if we decide to go out this weekend. Bunch of us are talking about heading out Sunday afternoon if the weather permits!

Nick

Hi Todd/Propwash!

It was nice to meet you too. I look forward to seeing you out there! I'm hoping the 70's in the forecast will make the lake a bit warmer...

Give me a shout if you see us this summer!

Jeff

That sounds good Dave, hopefully the weather is nice... I may hit the lake myself. Give me a call, I should be fairly open.

By the way, what kind of mufflers did you get? Are you running stock exhaust on your 496's? I actually have a tester if you want to know prior to getting checked by the police.
