I don't think this one is the same boat as mine, but yes they look mean sitting in the water.

I had a stopped up metering block in the carburator that I found this morning. Put it back together. Made a couple of adjustments and made a few passes. Runs good now. Putting some time on them before I air them out, but I pushed the sticks all the way a few times. Didn;t let the hull catch up yet, but it is a nice ride. Should break 80 sith the little engines, but she sounds like a big boat with those pipes.

Overall I am happy so far with the new madero cams and the machine work and assembly by Owens racing.

Still have a lot of things to do to get here complete and ready.

Don't need Leon no more at this level. These are just baby engines.

I will call him when I am ready to step up to ya'lls level.

Trojan Man caught a glimpse of her today running around. Burned $500 worth of gas in the last 2 days. She is a fun boat to drive around. Can't wait for some bigger water and somewhere to actually run to.
