They have had the unlimited plan for as long as I can remember.

Re: First Boat Ride of 2006
I splashed "For Now" yesterday... :D
We tested my newly tweaked prop from BBlades and I must say Brett hit the mark first time. The engine RPM is up 100-150, and the boat runs free with a lot less trim. I held the throttle open for 1 good long speed run. With the mufflers reinstalled, 2 people, 1/2 tank, just a ripple in the water; 84mph on the speedo 76.6 GPS @ 4900+ a little. :D One glitch than still remains from last year is a squeaking power steering pump. I guess I need to stop by Napa tomorrow... :rolleyes: All-in-all, a great first ride in in my little 24' Super... :drink: |

I do have one more little mod to make on the engine that may net another 15-20HP, but I have lots of little things to do/fix before getting to that... :cool: The work BBlades did to my prop is right on the mark so I don't think there is much more to be gained there, but I'm going to try a 5 blade at some point. Is 80mph in the cards? Probably not but you never know... :D |

I do have in my stockpile just about everything to convert my 415HP/502Mag to a HP500EFI; cam, intake, throttle-body, injectors, larger valves, roller rockers, and... :D The engine ran so sweet last year, I just didn't want to mess with it... :drink: |
Re: First Boat Ride of 2006
Pat, Great numbers. Sounds like you got the boat set up just right.
What is the "little mod" that will gain you 15-20 hp??? |
Re: First Boat Ride of 2006
Pat sounds great!!!
Interesting how off that speedo is. I guess those volvo's you can get are a great deal! |
