The boat ran 109 right off the trailer and then we adjusted the outside plates up two flats and it picked up to 110 mph .. Jimmy Flippen told me to raise them two more flats and try it .. Did not improve any speed but got the boat freed up some .. Prop burned 6400 , pulled down to 5700 RPM pulled back up to 6750 Speed 110 , that put me right at 18% slip ..The water is breaking right about where my SDBA sticker is on the boat , so we made some improvements Saturday Tony recommended me to go up two flats on the inside plate before I go back out , so I adjusted those yesterday .. Then before we head out next time , I am going to add 1* timing to get it to 33* to where she liked it on the Dyno ..I may decide to drop down to some 25 or 27 gears to try and get the RPMs up a little quicker .These 32 are still pulling at a 1/4 mile . I need to learn how to make this thing take a set . 3 hops on take off is not going to work .. I think I am staying on my down plates way to long .. Any way it is fun again playing in the boat .. Thanks Galen , the engine is doing great and sounding great .. clap.gif
Saturday I hit a roller about 90 and bounce my butt about a foot out of the seat and the boat tried to go right on me when it hit the water , that was not fun at all .. I really thought I was going out of the boat and getting wet .. I wore my Lifeline jacket on every pass that I made .. It is a pain to put on , but it is worth it to have that security ..
