Motors held at 135-140 degrees. Pressure was bouncing between 10-15psi.

Very nice. 10-15 yo 300X vs new 400R within 10 MPH that's a damn good start I would say.

Looks like your on the right track. I think if you can get 3psi to 5psi more water pressure and you'll be good. Glad to see the AN 16 Fittings helped.

Here is a version with GPS data from Virb so you can see mph and acceleration.

Thats awesome Ron. The read out makes it so much better for us. How is the trim when you're running. Looks like you pop it up a bit in the beginning. Is motor still at 1and 7/8 up or higher.

I have a question?

What happened to keeping me in the loop on the dual transaction you had going (sale/purchase) and letting me know when you planned to come p/u the 30? You've owned the boat nearly a month & this is the 1st I'm hearing about it.

Can't wait to hear this story!

The guy in the bass boat will be telling everyone about being passed / left behind like that for years to come....NICE ride!

Michael, Give me a call sometime and I will fill you in. Never really made it up there. We ended up meeting half way in GA. Been busy as I am sure you are. Let me know if you are going to Key West?
Talk to you soon!

SP Funny you mention that. It is a friend of mine. The boat is an Allison and he just built the 2.5 on it. Was still sort of breaking it in. It will run about 105 and accelerates like a rocket.

I'm just giving you a hard time. Glad it all worked out. You were due for a new project, there was nothing left to do to your 28.

No KW for me, headed to Ft Myers Thanksgiving weekend then leaving the boat behind.

Congrats on the new ride.
