Dude, looks like a 4.5 blade unbalanced :eek: wheel, but the secret is the skeg was bumped too ! can't believe no one noticed at the :drink:Tipsy, guess that explains the oversight. PS start posting some of your other photos please :kiss:

You couldn't even see the bottom blades on the wheel while it was in the water, how could anyone see the skeg???

BTW, he tossed the blade in 70 feet of water, he didn't hit anything. The skeg didn't get bumped, it got sliced... by the tossed blade! There's no damage on the leading edge or on the bottom of the skeg, but it's sliced about a 1/3 or the way up like someone took a knive to it and bent the bottom part around! Amazing!

EXACTLY what happened to me 3 weeks ago...

Glad Gerry got a prop! I was ready to pull mine off and give em to him to run! OL stepped up and got him going.

Great times everyone!

You may be absolutely correct. Did you happen to see the photo of the skeg ? Big things do float in 70 ft. of water, but your conclusion seems eruptible as well as most likely. Especially considering the prop. material and the load forces on it. I will have to agree. Maybe it's time for forged wheels ! :picard1: $$$

I thought it was pretty cool that even with boats with double the Horse Power, it was three mild powered ILMOR boats first second and third to the last card stop!
It's not how fast you go, it's how long you go fast!
And the fourth boat to the card stop was a non stepped,non padded, non beaked, old schooled single engined SUTPHEN. Good thing my big brother WALTER was not there with his 39.

poker run
 
Had a great time with everyone, met a lot of new faces and saw a couple I've met before. I want to thank Pat for bringing me and my girlfriend out and thank everyone for one of the best times of summer.
TEAM LIQUIDATOR!

Also, who do I contact for the video? Mike, or the aerial people?
