Don't hate me for smiling.......
Miles of smiles:
Air temp 88F
25 knot winds
3-4' seas
serious surface chop
One Superboat cruising happily at 48 mph in this slop, dodging the sailboaters and wondering where all the other go-fasts are???
THIS BOAT IS AWESOME
PS
First fuel up:
gps data:
225 miles
84 gal
2.7 mpg, hard use

Great to hear all is well Krak!
I help a friend service his boat and then we went for a ride yesterday too.
It hit 70°F here in CT, not bad for Halloween...

Hey Krak... Hey Pat...any day on the water is a good day.
-I spotted this 24 from the SB website(bottom pic) out cruising yesterday so I made a bee line for him. I was on it & he couldn't pull away from me with a reg. 300 to my 250! Can't wait still haven't gotten my X. Keep on SUPERBOATIN' !
-P.S. I was trimming my 24 way too much in chop. I was hating it. But now that I chilled with the trim & just "set" that tabs in the big stuff...she cuts the way a 24 is supposed to. [smiles] Later.
-me & brother Dirk Pitt (with his 21 SB & new "X") at Tanner Park.

Re: Don't hate me for smiling.......
Gettin' better all the time!!
Yesterday:
Air temp 76
Four people
Full tank
No wind, bay flat
5000 rpm
72.4 mph gps ( merc speedo read 82!)
Time to start thinking a performance prop - let's hear what 30Y2K folks are spinning, I have a stock 26 non-labbed bravo prop - what's out there doing better?
Still finding best tab and trim settings, and loving the boat!

Getting there. Now, I've heard of an ignition upgrade for the 496 HO. It raises the rpm and rev limiter of the motor. I read it in one of the threads here. It had a link to their website. Not sure if it was MSD. I'll look for you when I get a chance. What about a Whipple ?
