I think if I can find a set of 30 pitch 4 blades I will see 85! :)

the winter projects have begun!

Windshield is off for some much needed new powder coating. Going with a blue frame and blacked out glass. Also powder coating a bunch of other components the same blue.

I have other projects also planned, more to come!

Unfortunently I just don't think it would look right with the way the dash board is designed. These 80's boats were designed around the windshields! I am hoping it will look good in blue!

Without going back and searching, are the speed gains strictly from the drive change/rigging or was additional work done? What power are you running? Your level of motivation is impressive.

Doubt he is kicking it back right now. He is probably shoveling, I mean playing with snow this time of the year. Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow.

How’s It been going? We haven’t heard anything in a year. I’m interested in knowing what kind of speed you got out of your kaama last summer.
