Still no pictures. Took the boat up to Gravenhurst for our second race of the year on Friday. Was very lucky to make a few passes in front of a very experienced crew, made some tweaks and got the magic prop from Hydromotive. Went back out and the boat was on rails, ran better than ever, I was extremely happy with the way it was coming out of the water, taking a set, and driving dead straight. Put it back on the trailer ready to race for the weekend, and noticed a cracked skeg :( Going to need a miracle to get it back in the water again this year, but at least I now know what prop it likes!

Heard the conditions were brutal up there. Windy and choppy. Some guys didn't even race due to it, and a Critchfield broke in half.

It was rougher than I've seen in that little Bay, but we still ran full course and schedule. I was able to get a loaner lower unit for my hometown race coming up, I will have my GoPro mounted and should have pics and vids to post. Going out Sunday for some pleasure boating, need some seat time lol.

Did a little river and lake running yesterday, posted a short video on the Facebook page. I have a fuel system issue, but other than that the boat runs awesome. Engine height is dialled in and the boat actually settles down and is very driveable. I have the 2 hole CLE running 1 1/2" above the pad, 6" setback.
Turning a 24 mach 3 chopper, unknown rpm's (no gauges) at about 75 mph. None of the drama it had previously, it stays on the pad with very little steering input and just runs on rails. Now I need to find a bigger prop that doesn't upset the hull lol....

That's at the Baicour shop, couldn't have got it together without his help and shop space! Nice to have it back in the water

First race win of the year, and not only was it caught on camera, but also made it in the local paper! Kinda neat
