I don't have a Skater yet as everyone knows but I did go boating yesterday. It was 48* air temp, the coldest I've been out, and pleasant sitting still drinking a cold one. Boat ran 91.1mph @ 6700 rpm with 4 blade 15x 30* vented bravos, no wind to speak of, and 30 gallons of fuel. I have Brucato ACUs' with no limiters. I need 14.25 to 14.75 diameter props to be able to hit max rpm. It has run 96 with light load. I'm hoping to best that with my labbed 3 blade 15x 30* Spinellis' next weekend. They are calling for 54*. I want to pull my injectors and have them flowed. other than a new interior I hope that will have me ready for this year. I have a ported 260 and think I will find another to have a set. The my 260s' liked fuel but are beasts turning 7500+. Stay warm my friends and go boating weather permitting. You will feel 1000% better once your on the water!

Sweet! Deer season is finally over here. Time for some honey doos and some boat prep.
so what's are you tackling first on your 32? |
If anyone is looking for a nice 28 JJ is selling one. I saw it at Supreme Marine today. Boat has nice paint job, clean but 2.5's on it. Would be a nice boat with Opti's! Not sure what he is asking but Troy said looking to sell.
