TurboEd - you're killing me :D

Hey Morgan - So far, I have only run (or should I say ridden in) my boat for about 30 minutes when John Tomlinson and I took it out for the sea trial (almost a month ago). I was planning on running my boat here all weekend (since we finally got some sunshine), but unfortunately a minor power steering leak turned out to be what looks to be a cracked steering cylinder, so I was out of commission all weekend. I'll know tomorrow exactly what the problem is, and how soon I can get the part to fix it. It looks like next weekend is going to be my first chance to run the boat. By the way, that's great news that Sonny finally got his boat out on the water.

Re: Finally!!!
 

Thanks for the support but I think I have this one covered on my own , or at least I hope I do .

Jromy , get that leak fixed and get to the water , looks like the weather is gonna be great this week .

Re: Finally!!!
 

Yo JROMY!!

Leak ? Not good. Hope you get it fixed soon. I may try to dump mine in for this weekend. Need to get a ramp sticker. Having fun in Vegas. C U soon.

Morgan...spoke with Pantera today. Your boat is almost finished. Can't wait to see her. I should get my hydromotive prop QIV-X 25p this week. Hope to see a bit of a difference than the 26 labbed. We'll see.

Re: Finally!!!
 

Jromy what speeds are you getting and what props?

Re: Finally!!!
 

Well, for the past 3 weeks, the best I've gotten for speed was 4 mph, when I moved the boat from one side of the marina to the other due to weather and my steering ram issue :rolleyes: I've got 32's for props, and when we ran the boat in Florida the speedometer (non GPS) was indicating 90. John Tomlinson said he was guessing real speed was around 87 or so. If all goes well, my new steering ram will be here today, so I may get a chance to run the boat tomorrow. I'll have a GPS in the boat by next week, so that will be the true test. I will keep you posted.

Re: Finally!!!
 

Well, my new steering ram went on today, and I actually got out on the water after work. Boat ran great - can't wait to get out there this weekend again. Here's a picture launching (I'm not sure if I'm attempting a karate kick or a split), and a picture just before I put it back on the trailer. Hopefully this weekend I'll get to spend some real time on the water and see what GPS speeds I'm running.

You and Ron should make a run to Port Wash.
