thanks guys, Going by in the video probably close to 95, and I didn't know that the rev limiter was released yet. We kept going and it was an awesome sight to look down and see the needles on all four tachs leaning way over towards 8000 range. we ended up with what you see on the speedo recall.
I'm ready to start dialing in now, the props I have on now are a just what I threw on to get her on the water. The 2 center ones are thick bladed15X34 stock merc cleavers off the shelf and need blueprinted
The outside motors are spinning 15X32 stock cleavers. Your help would be appreciated

That's great news, if you want to bring it to Indian lake where it may have a little more room to stretch its legs let me know.

Thanks guys, at least I'm on my way to get to my goal. I'll start experimenting with different propellers and engine height. The fun begins!
