A summery of the season!
The Pantera definitely needs a ballast tank - will be ready in a week if I can put enough time on it.
The nose cone I put on the lower during the off season didn't do anything good, knocked it off before the last race and finally it turns perfectly again.
Broke one and a half blade of my brand new BBlade prop during the last race but had a top speed during the last lap of 80mph with lots of vibrations (and won the race!) and was unable to trim out more than parallel with the bottom.
I will now continue my testing with longer strakes, will have them ready next week. Might have a couple mph left on the table so it's going to be interesting!
I sent my Rev 4 to BBlades for some adjustments since I'm at the limiter and hopefully I now have some rpms to spare and some more speed.
Hopefully I will be able to do some testing next weekend!

Given it hell ! That must be testing , I don't see any other boats there.
Tomas your doing 83 with a 496. I would love to see you drop about 700-800 hp in there in the off season and see what it will do.
