The first splash went pretty well. I had a little scare. Cruising along at about 3K RPMs the oil pressure was pretty solid. When I started getting on it the needle on my oil pressure guage kept twitching back and fourth. I figured if something was gonna happen so be it. I cranked her up to 5K rpms and then my oil pressure gauge dropped to nothing. OH $HIT!, I came off plane and checked things out. It turned out the sender wire came off. I plugged it back in and all was well.

I hit a new high with my 4 blade prop, 74.9 gps. That was with just me and a full tank of gas.

The season has started!! :D

Hey Dave M,
At least you had some nice weather for your run(40's yesterday L.I., 70's MD.) That's a good # you hit. I don't know about you I/O'ers, but the diff. of a full tank vs. fumes with us O/B'ers is 2,3 or 4 mph, and that's if I'm solo. I see 80 in your future(mine too ;) )

You da man!
 
That makes me more anxious to get out there!!
Good for you Dave! Did you have the prop labbed? I cant remember if you metioned that in a prior thread.

It's a straight out of the box 26 Bravo 1. My best speed ever (75.3) was with a 25 Mirage +.

They're calling for 79 degrees here today.

Go ahead, rub it in...:D
Just got back from lunch down at the water.
Sunny and about 55°F, not too bad...:cool:
