ok I have recoverd somewhat from the weekend...did not post anything cuz I was having waaaaay to much fun guys...great, great weekend!!!!
ran the boat late yesterday with three on board and very light on fuel ...actually ran the port out idling back by tinn lizzys....91mph is all I got out of it. not what I was expecting seeing as I did 96 with my old powerheads... same props, same load but better conditions... cooler air and less humidty (79 and 55% humidity) water was flat though... wtf?????

Craig,
Are you saying it was cooler out when you ran the faster speeds with less humidty? What a surprise!
Guess there is something to say about where we all live and the speeds that are attainable.
