Nice to know I am not the only one that runs out gas! That is what we get trying to run light LOL. Was it a new compressor or the one from the old motor? If so do you have the upgraded ones? If not you should have them replace the other one as well.
Also should change the oil filters to them as well.

it was the old one...well it had 75 hrs on it if that's old and yes upgraded. the other one has upgraded pump but a few less hours....and yes the filters were changed.

Hey LA, When do you anticipate getting some high end numbers on that sucker? What have you run so far with what props being used?

I have run 96 with the 3 blade 32 cleavers with a littte over half tank of fuel, full oil resivoirs pretty decent stereo system and gear as well... low 90's is easy to get to! working on a trying a set of 4 blades now. very interested to see how yours runs!

96 with fuel wife and stereo sounds great right now I would just like to have a running boat!

The props are where it's at. I have run 92 mph with labbed 3 blade 15x30 Spinelli cleavers and 95 mph with 4 blade 15x30 (actually 29*) Ron Hill Hammerheads (Bravo style). The four blades are balanced better and provide alot of bow lift and less vibration, but, make the boat flighty (airtime), which I like. The 3 blade cleavers let the hull do what it is supposed to do. generate lift with the hull vs. props. BBlades has a 4 blade blaster that is around $800.00 a piece and has proven to be as fast if not faster on 24 Skater, 25 Motions with outboards. Enjoy Craig! She looks great.

Stop messing around already and buy some Dewalds!!!!!

Absolutely and I'm first in line to borrow them!

the duck boat is out of commission too???

No but it is the contingency plan vessel!
