Glad to hear it. Jen and I stopped down around 10:30 on Saturday morning (nobody!)....then we went to Dunkin, and headed back down around 10:45 and still NOBODY! Must have just missed you guys.
We did see Kevin's truck there on Sunday though! Nice looking ride brother! But he was out burnin' somemore fuel!

Yeah we were at the launch for HRs on sat waiting for Kev to make every single person in OS drive to the hardware store for him.LOL
We got out late as hell but still had a great time. Nice 102 MPH run in a skater,
Kev and I both ran low 80's as conditions were perfect.
In fact I ran low' 80's hanging with the skater who reported he ran 85 to 86 on the way back. Only had about 100 yards seperating us on the way over. Kev said he ran 82.5 on GPS. So we were all in between that range.
I ran that at 5730 RPM's and when I got it in the river( between Dock and dine and the bridge) I was able to get it up to 6370 RPMs after trimming it out some more and playing with X dimension on the porta bracket. wish I had my hand held GPS .
Conditions were perfect and we were all alone so I had a good oppertnity to dial it in for a change.

Assuming you have 1.5:1 gearing (a guess), 24 pitch fishin props, 5730 at 10% prop slip works out to about 78 mph. The same at 6370 rpm is 87 mph!
