I'm glad to help as well!! Lot of fun messing with the Skater outboards. Trying to get my 28 to 110 plus. Tyson and I are on a development plan and I'm sure we will get there . 120MPH would be cool but not required.

Can't agree more about Ron. and Jim Lee well it's Jim Lee doesn't get better than him.

Get some Dewald 4 blade cleavers, or try mine this summer. Easy to pass 110

Doing the 1.3 mods , raising the motors and props are last. I'll update down the road. Thanks for the prop offer.

Jim, I have noticed that your motors are bolted direct to transom with no jack plate for setback or adjustment.

Is there some reason why you choose to go on the transom like this?

Once we find the right spot it won't move up or down anyway. Only trim will move. Just going the simpler lighter option.

104 mph and kept losing water pressure and motors start protecting themselves. Going to fix that problem . Boat felt stable with a lot more left. Sending ECUs out
for the 1.3 mod and retest when that's done.

Jimmy make sure you do some sort of cowling mods for more air also per their options. Lastly you have to remove the air temp sensor in the intake and replace it with the hex head they supply.
Did you do the flywheels also?
