Steve, Trim was level. I have not done anything with motor heights or real testing for speed. So far we are just working on the water pickups and reducing drag. I am feeling good with where I am at and looking forward to that soon.

Thats great Ron, Im really looking forward to hearing about how a Dewald prop set up for top end runs. Especially the 5 blade. Don't think my rig will run well with anything less than 5. Mercs were 33 inch 5 blade cleaver with 15 inch diameter. Rake is 13 degrees which I think I could have used a few more degrees to carry the bow better. Needs positive trim to run the high numbers.

Works and looks great! As you know my 28s is at TNT getting rigged properly by Guy and George. Then I want to go out and lay down a number. Probably 105 with the props I have on at this time. If you could work with Guy and put some cool stuff on my 28 if its not already set up. I'm just getting back in the boat again after a few mods.

That's not funny! I have the best dash in Skater Nation but no 400Rs!

Seriously. I've said it before Ron's crew is top knotch. Ron designed the system. Provided the blueprints components and endless hours coaching us thru the build.

It sounds like Ron has never worked a day in his life! I wish I could be that lucky.

Easy killer. I'm up at 430am to give out grenades and AT-4s' at 600am for the past 23 years. I don't particularly like getting up at 430, but I do enjoy working with soldiers. If I had your skillset Ron at rigging I think I would enjoy getting up at 430 to work with boats and people who are happy to pay you for your work. The soldiers generally ***** at me because of THEIR PPPPP. It gets old being the bad guy even when your right. Would you really prefer a 388? I would rather have an outboard cat any day. Rig on Ron, rig on!
