I tried to get a video but by the time I heard you both coming I had to run over to the cabins etc. and you were already too far away. Boat looked great running and sounds awesome! We didn't go into the park on Saturday due to the heat so I was able to hear and see a some of the hardware running around. Awesome place for performance boats. We also saw the Silver top gun that came out of Chicago on Friday night when we were at Famous Daves.

Yeah, funny you mention the Silver and Blue boat. On our way up yesterday we saw him towing it on Rt.2, boat looked immaculate, spotless and shiny. Then on our way back into Sandusky Bay to the marina last night, we ripped past him. I saw him coming across in front of us from my Starboard side, and thought we would run together but he headed straight towards Cedar Point marina and came off plane. Was a great weekend, lots of fun and swimming, ran to Cedar Point beach, Huron, Kellys, Dockside cafe, etc. Saw a badass cat in /huron river, looked like an MTI - grey/silver.

It was J, seeing around 90+mph @ 5100 RPMs w/ only the 30pitch props on. I have 2 real nice sets of 32s, but thinking my 2" spacers and running 18"dia is slowing down my top end. Need to play with props and space back up 1". It certainly makes the boat more usable in this setup, but I only have about 3 hours run time on the boat this season so far. So the tweaking continues. It's a really fun boat around 80mph, trimmed out and running in 1-3s, keeps you on your toes. Have not ran it over 5200RPMs, limiters set around 6600, but I'm convinced it cannot pull these big props that high. When I run the slip numbers, drives actually look to be 1.4:1, meaning I may need to drop down a pitch size. On the flip side, 32s cruise real good! Easily can cruise 65-70mph with the bigger props, but it's probably loading the driveline a little too much, especially with 18"diameter. .

I had a boat full of gas that wanted to be at Kellys Island at the end of the day so it was easier just to stay over there .. if it was just Cheryl and I we probably would’ve came over there
