What up, just came off the water. Been running in a private lake great for testing. Sand bottom clear fresh water. Been taking it easy trying to learn how to drive this thing. Ran 70 gps today I think around 6000. Acceleration is awesome! Timing stil off gonna put a light on it tomorrow. Got water pump changed getting around 12psi now on throttle.

Seeing alot of porpoise at cruising speeds with a full gas tank and just me in boat. Second passage balances things out.
yeah I'm gonna give ronnie a call in a few weeks. Can't wait to get a shield on it. The list continues to grow just when you thought it was shrinking! Lol think I'll be shopping an allison plate as well.

I heard about your bad news. That sucks! I'm sure you'll come up with something sick for that v king! Post picks of the windshield when you get it mounted!

Spent a few awesome hours running the boat again today, each day better and better.

Motor needs some tuning. Water pressure stayed below 10. Will be changing impeller this weekend

Boat launched alot better after I took the bump stop off the foot throttle! Guess I over looked that one!

Sweet!

That has turned out amazing.

Get used to everything like it is before you make any changes to your set up. That way you can tell if it's better due to you being more comfortable in the boat or physical changes.

Over all it was good. Got about an hour of testing done before it rained out. She porpoised some at mid range speeds. Acted the same with one or two people. Things were a lil more sluggish getting outta hole than I suspected. Not sure what the deal was there. Ran a 27 srx about even with the pad didn't get a chance to run a 28 chopper I have. Hoping to get out tomorrow again.

Windshield next on list!

Getting easier now I had to do it a few times. My dad was over here when I drilled the transom. When we got everyyhing marked out I think we passed the drill back and forth 20 times saying"I'm not doing it, you do it."
