nada1 bring it brother your welcome in my home and on my ride anytime.

Matt, That was some really good water. Where was I when you took that video? Musta been watching gauges. I knew you would know where I was Sat, I cleaned all day then took it out today @ Arbuckle for another test. I found the oil leak finally, I saw it dripping behind the port oil cooler the line from the pre-oiler system was loose. I also found a gas leak under the starboard fuel regulator, it was handy. I left my tools in the truck of course so I looked around and found a older boat and said to myself I bet he has some tools. I asked for a crescent wrench and he told me I have every size open end wrench what size?. So we pulled up beside him. I lifted the hatch and first thing out of his mouth WOW! Supercat engines. Then next thing I knew he was on my boat fixing the leaks and checking other connections to see if all were tight.. God sent he was. Even his wife was helping him. Come to find out he owns a boat shop in OKC. What a couple, they were great and really helpfully. Now all I have to do is clean again tomorrow. I took my Banker today to test. I asked him how fast he ever went in a boat he said 45. I grinned real big so he knew he was in for the ride of he's life. I didn't recall the gps but he saw 90 on the passenger speedo. Only thing he said was I'm bringing goggles next time are my eye lids still on? Still don't have much water pressure but she didn't warm up like it did with us the other day. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Dave, I feel you and all my buddies here had a lot to do with how she turned out. Thank you all for the support, advise and knowledge I got from all of you. A whole lot of planning and a long wait, she finally came together. One thing I can say, if I could go back and change something we did. I wouldn't. Is this boat for every boater, probably not. Maybe this boat just isn't someone else's cup of tea. I know! Let's have a spelling contest! Why, Dave, you're not wearing a bustle... how lewd. Thanks brother.

Yeah if it weren't for spell check I couldn't type and I can barely type with it.

Your rig is certainly NOT for everyone.
Its more than most will ever have, and even if the many had the skill and talent to put it together- even fewer could drive it.

Its because of this that its sooooooo cooooool

I wanna ride!

Here is some dry tail noise out of one engine.

I did more testing today at Arbuckle, the lake is small but it reminds me of my own LAKE X and hardly anyone one on it but me. Tested today with 31 pitch 4 blade Hydramotive @ 5600 RPM. I had to trim up quite a bit to get the rpms but my slip numbers are quite good like she was hooking up good. Next is a set of 5 blade 28P Maximus. Jackson's Thriller is tame compared to this at these speeds. Stay tuned.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!

Looks like you ran out of numbers on that speedo!! Time to upgrade!! Let me know what you want for that one!!

Sweet Deal VV .I jump on here just to see what you have been upto LOL Keep us posted one sweet set up. Curt

I can only imagine. About 85 you have to ask yourself if you are committed.

Holy Cow!
I think you'll find the 4 blade props to be the fastest.
If you run 5 Blade Maximus they will probably need to be cut down on the dia to get the speed near a 4 blade.
I bet 5 blade Hydro P5 or P5X would be more stable and not much slower than the 4 blade props.
