It was... The block is off the hone and going together with new rings. The plan is to install it back in the boat sometime tomorrow. Brett @ BBLades has my 32 and going to take some slip out of it. When that is done I will send out the 34 for the same treatment. I think I am going to add some boost to get the 34 to run 6200 or so, it will make for a great cruising prop as thats what I do mostly, 40 miles runs each way to lunch with the family . I really liked the 34. But maybe the 32 will be ok when the slip numbers get in line.

The motor is back in the boat, and running on the hose. I took Monday and Tuesday off. Now to get it dialed again... I left it with Perf marine as my O2 sensor still after months has not arrived... Accel's customer service is very disappointing. I may just get on line and find one. Having the boat 4.5 hours away is stressful to say the least. And I cant be there.... I hope to get it before the weekend it will be a late night trip 9 hours round trip. then work. I will need a ton of 5 hour energy to get thru the day before and after. I wonder if its all worth it... guess I will better answer that in a few weeks. After some seat time, If not im calling Dean Nickerson and throwing all the EFI stuff in the lake...

Jason and johnny had it out on the lake and said it was rich, they tuned from idle to 5K. There was a small oil leak which was dealt with. And the ITS needs to be bleed, you have to turn is slowly to the left to keep it straight. So they only did one short blast to 5600 or so. I hope they are out now getting the EFI set. I missed the last of two poker runs on my lake one which I sponsored... Was there but boat was not running good enough to run... Today all the boats went by my fuel dock many stopped in for gas and to ask how my boat was doing... I should make a sign so I don't have to keep telling the same story, maybe a recording I can just push when they ask. I hope to have all this behind me Tuesday when I pick it up.... good news I found a O2 sensor kit from accel. its on its way, cant wait for accel any more. I may run it in closed loop and data log, then every run I can make adjustments to the cells to get them closer to the AF mix I want. In time it will be perfect and I can either pull the O2 sensor, or lock it to a very small percentage of allowable change so if the O2 takes a crap it cant adjust very much anyway.
I put a 14' rowboat in my boat house, I will post a picture. Anyone know of any runs coming up, I want to do at least one, I heard thousand islands have a good run. I heard its really rough there might want to leave the wife behind?

Good news Don. Sounds like you got it. Can't wait to see the numbers it puts up.
We have a cool run on August 14 (I think) on the Chesapeake. Basically a fun run my buddy puts on. We leave one marina and have a heli follow us to a lunch spot and take pics. We then head to another spot for a big raft up. Back to the marina for some fun later that night. He had 35 boats last year....it was a blast. If your interested let me know.

Looks about 300 miles plus, where about on the Chesapeake? Give me some more details, is it a wekend event? How rough it the water usually? My wife does not like big water unless I go slow an im not driving 600+ miles round trip to go slow. Is it a family event my son is 9. I could get a sitter but need to know in advance.
Thanks
