nice
hey chris the boat looks great seems to handle very well for a open bow on calm water you must of found the sweet spot yours rides so flat compared to mine. after looking at your video i wish i had one to share we were going to go sat but i dont have the new throttle and shifter in yet waiting for the bezzel. still running pump gas here too never thought i would be makeing this much horsepower on everyday gas at the pump. keep up the good work i'll try to upload some pics of the motor setup i'm running now. dont know whats on plan for next year maybe looking for 110mph cant stop thinking about that yellow heat that never ran at the regata the year you were here.

And on this video starting with my boat at idle
at minute 3:25 a 103 mph pass
and at minute 4:45 showing a 38 fountain with twin 575's how a Nordic Heat should run...he does 103 mph.

This is all on 91 octane fuel with my pump gas (87 octane )pulley on.
I have not yet run the smaller pulley.

I may have to talk the wife into a Whipple before long lol. Gonna start with the "normal" Heat mods (spacer, prop, etc.) and see where that gets me for now.
Jerry, looking forward to seeing some engine pics for sure.

My boat is usually 2-3 mph faster on 1ft chop.
Also of note is that my SCX upper cost me about 2 mph...but it doesnt break.
