Were in, 2 boats from cleveland

We were planning on going, but wifey has friends coming to PIB that weekend :angry-smiley-038:

How many boats are currently registered?

Know I am

We are in too...I don't have a count on the boats but I know of two boats running!

what about HOOOOdock, To many full covers on it to get it out in time???

I'll run down to join also....can I just pay when I arrive?

I'll be there!

Sure thing Keith!!

Looks like I will be able to make the run also.

Sent my form in, I should be in as well

Run looks like it will be well attended, looking forward to it. We'll be there for sure, waiting on a set of plan B props, took out some port blades this past Sunday. [ATTACH=CONFIG]544330[/ATTACH]

Are those 5 blades, and what pitch? Tim has a set of my old 4 blades you can use, but they are only 24 pitch, probably too small for your boat.

Thanks for the offer, I have 28 Maximus 5 blades, a close 4 blade would be more like a 30. I could pop some cool wheelies with the 24s though, thanks for the offer!

Thought so, sorry to hear you chunked a prop(s).

It happens just sucks that's 2 times this year. Hopefully you get your boat ironed out and running the way you want soon, its been a long road for you.

Looks like I'm in for the Fall run.

Thanks, Todd. See ya there!

i feel your pain....a few more than twice for me though.

Cool, I get to see that Skater! See ya soon, Todd.

Weather is warming up, we have 2 boats trailering up from Cleveland Friday afternoon.

We Will be there!!! Full Boat,,,,No Covers! Lol

Change of plans guys. Looks like I'm out. :angry-smiley-055:

Did you find some to use, if not you can borrow my 30 Max.

Thanks for the offer Wild Thing, I bought a new set of bone stock non labbed 28 Maximus from BBlades and received them last Friday. They are definitely not as easy to plane and lost some top speed compared to my primary set that is labbed and tweaked but they will be good as a back-up set and at least get us on the water. Thanks to all that offered props to use, very kind people here on OSO. Now I have to find the troll that has been tearing up our props...

Not that this means anything, but I have a set of Labbed 28 Maximus by Frank and Jimmies on a 380 Powerquest with 502 Mags, and I had the diffuser ring milled off, and have seen 75mph so far on GPS. I love those props, may want to look into that.

Baldie Thanks for info. My main set is worked extensively by BBlades and that is the set I turned 2 port blades into leaf lettuce. It was going to take 4-6 weeks for repair so I bought a second completely stock set of 28 Maximus in the interim. No sense to work the "B" set. On my boat best was keeping the diffuser ring but smoothed the body of the prop and cupped the blades differently at the tip. Eliminated my on plane chatter and lengthy roll-up along with getting my top speed a hair better than original generic factory labbed props. Are you on for this weekend?

I will be at Put-in-bay killing my liver, leaving work here in a few to head out... I was just at a run last weekend in Traverse city and want to go to the run next weekend out of Lake St. Clair... I really need to sign up for Leopa, I have all the documentation in my e-mail, just been stalling....

I'm stuck on i75 working in the construction. 2 days off during the week so I can work 12 on Saturday. All you guys feel free to point and laugh, at the guy in the Pete with the cig sticker in the back window. At least I can watch them go by on the trailers.

Nice run yesterday, had to run with Mark on his Outerlimits since my boat is down. Brought Evan with us with his 39 Nor Tech.

Thanks for setting it up, great time!

Seen the boats going up and down the Detroit River twice, looked like a great turnout. I didn't see the Ben Perfect Scarab returning, did he break down or did I just miss him?

We thought we broke a drive so we spend the rest of the day getting from Brownies to Metro Park and then back to Lake Sinclair and then to Toledo. Not sure what happened to the drive as when we got to the shop we drained the gear lube and there was just the normal minor amount of fuzz on the magnet. Not sure what the issue is as we didn't feel like tearing the steering down now as the engines are coming out in Oct/Nov for rebuild. Maybe the cable has stretched? Smitty, is it worthwhile to rebuild the Max Machine drives even with no significant wear? I lot of the 100 +/- hours on the drives are just on Sunday's and I think the speed limit on the Detroit River is 55 MPH :-)

Thanks for the update on your boat, you were flying up the Detroit River on Saturday. I always loved the way that boat ran, I remember when it ran in B-Class in the GLSCS and was very fast in that Class.

I'll have to post some photos that we took. Had a blast even though we were always bringing up the rear.
