hey mike

I bumped it up to to 32 (I couldn't remember if you had it at 32 or 34) today. I'll set it to 34 and see how she does.

actually brought the GPS with me this morning.

60 mph at 5000 rpm with a 26* Bravo I through a 1.5 drive. Using the prop slip calculator on BAM (and using 24.5 for the prop pitch) that is 22% slip, 24% with 25* and 27% with 26*. :(

The motor is cammed for 5800 rpm WOT. I was going to try Matt's 24 Bravo when I have time. I also have a spare drive that I was going to put a 1" spacer in it. We could swap it out at the ramp.

I was curious, so I ran by the CAT scales at a local truck stop and weighed everything. 14300 total, truck weighed 6980 and according to the MSO for the trailer it weighs 945, so that means the boat was 6375 with about about 3/8 tank (~40 gal ~240lbs, the other tank is empty).

Thanks, Albert. Now if I can just figure out where my power went. I feel like I'm in the same boat as Kirk :D

Chris been there bro many times. Did you check your timing already? make sure all your plug cables are attached, I have run before with seven cylinders. I love your set up very detailed and clean.

Good luck bro, boat looks hot just sitting on the water....

Dude! Sweet! 09-04-2007 01:22 PM

Very nice! Man, I love the look of that boat and she sound's crispy!

On the upside, with big slip numbers, you're less likely to break drives! :D Good luck!
