Splash Day !
 
 


Hey All ... Glenn came up today for the test run, and he had to do a little work to get it in the water,  I liked a little having the wiring all done so he jumped right in the boat and finished it up, I think thats why we didn't get more speed out of it,  it Must have been something he done, Not Me !

I was a bit disappointed in the speed 62.5 on the GPS, and the prop was grabbin air anything over about 60 mph.  The motor done really good, if I didn't get it broke on the first run, Glenn did on the second one, he got it up to 62.2 right off the bat, I had to make a couple runs before I beat him.

The prop was holding good at wide open throttle 4650 / 4700 with no trim, 58 / 59 mph, added a little trim and the speed went up a little and was picking up air on up to the 62.5.  The  boat it's self was much quieter than it was before, and no more rattling around and flexing.

Maybe Tom can put a little more cup in the prop. No matter anyway, cause you got an awesome rig there.
