Default Mesa delivers Otis Tiger

Alright back in Feb we saw Otis off to the poker run the day following splash date and I must say I was nervous I wanted Bob to have a great time with his family and friends knowing what he'd been through . We had a couple of small issues nothing major . Monday I spoke to Bob about leaving his baby and letting me test some props and change some things in the mufflers when he told me he would be back in April to take her back home . The result has been I feel good to say we picked up from 71 mph to 77-78 in flat water unfortunately yesterday when we went out for the last test we went out and there was 6 to 8 footers instead of the advertised 2 to 4 we expected and I couldn't get him his 80mph we were looking for but I know it will go there in the right condition .

Laz, I see no bypass at the crossover. Are you using restrictor plates in the thermostat housing, or just letting the water blast through?


thanks
Shawn
