I cleaned and organized my shop a couple of years ago. I could not find anything afterwards. I still contend a clean shop is a sign of a sick mind...
You are right. But in typical Over Kill fashion if I decide to do that I will have the whole deck on the wall!!!!!!!

Well this is how my staff knows it's boating season. Delivered today! Can't wait to try these.
Sam, Please share what the attributes to the hybrid props you had made by Dave. I am just trying to learn more about this HP boat stuff. Seem that there is little written about HP boat set-up, tuning, etc. In contrast, I have a full shelf in my library pertaining to race car engineering, tuning, driving, etc. Do boaters not know how to write, or is it reading that gives them fits? - or are they too busy waxing them?

Well Mother Nature was ugly yesterday lake wind advisory. We had 15-25 mph winds but went out anyway. Props have great hole shot and mid range. Ran to mid 90's when wind decided to move us about 10 yards across the channel. So we will get some number out hopefully this weekend.
