Some CSucker paint balled my 320
 
Pulled my boat out today from it's parking spot and some CSucker paint balled the side of it last night.:bsflag: It took gas to get that sh^t off it. It was like dried bubble gum. Anyway I got it all off.:angry-smiley-038: I have dual water lines so I can start both engines up at the same time with the water hoses. I fired the engines up. Neighbor called, wondering if we were OK thought a bomb went off or something. Heee! Heading out to the Lake tomorrow for some more Maximus Labbed 5 blade practice. With these 2" shorties I had to take the aluminum cav / splash plate off the drives. Props are 15 5/8 and a hair away from the cav plates so I decided to take the plates off and do some more testing. If I cut the props down to 15.5" they will work with the cav. plates.

Damn, sorry to hear about the paintball deal! Some people are just plain ole F'd up! Is there any way you can put some spacers or washers between the cavitation plate and the drive and keep them on? When I had my shorties on my boat would not get on plane without having the plates on. The props just pulled the air right down from the surface and they would blow out.

Amazingly disrespectful.

Id be on the lookout for local kids - if they think they got away with it once they will likely do it again.

What's the chance it was unintentional?

In my mind reciprocity is the key to every relationship........
