picking it up in the morning tomorrow and we are gonna head to captree to run it.....

i am only going up in small increments now to see how the water pressure does.....dont wanna cook a pair of new motors......will post results as soon as we are back.....

I think i saw you running over by Captree today....it runs real nice....cuts through everything

G&S,

#s!

Went about 1 1/4 below the hull, no real speed increase, but boat is definitly handling better, and it wasnt handling bad previously, so we are gonna come up another quarter inch or so next weekend and see what happens. We definitly have room to come up, water pressure at WOT is around 20-22 psi, and still seeing 5600 rpms trimmed out, so still some room to go on the rpm side as well. so we are going to see what happens. Top end was 78 again last night, and was slowly inching up to 79...78.1, 78.3, 78.5.

George and I were wondering if 30"'s might not be the answer down the road, but not gonna rush it....still happy as can be, and getting a real good feel for the boat. We will get to that 80+ mark

Boat is definetly coming into its own as we come up with the motors.....if i didnt have fathers day obligations with the family this morning we would have raised them some more.....next weekend i will have more time hopefully sean does and we will see....

all i can say is sean is really getting a feel for the boat and did some nice throttle work saturday morning.....

the boat is bad azzzz

My last guesstimate was 86!

wow...very impressive...you're on you way to breaking 80!

if as the motors go up and the water pressure starts falling, how effective are transom mounted water pickups?

we will never have to go up that high.....at a certain pint it starts becoming counter productive on a V bottom to keep going up....

we still have 500 rpm left to tap into and a set of 30 bravos to try.....next weekend may be the day we break 80.....

I dont think we will need to even think about that, besides, pretty much everyone has told me, and I remember from my 24', you can only go so high, and then it just works against you

I hear Lightspeed went for a ride. How did he like it?

tomorrow #$%@ 80 %$#@
