Thanks,Doug hopefully I will need another boat some day and we will meet again.I might come to LHC in January as I might be in Vegas with my wife for a (UPHA) horse awards banquet.

They have a in the water location at the marina at the Miami Boat Show in Feburary and I understand that they will be showing the M41 there.

Doug,I heard that you had a bad wreck from Preston,great to hear that you are going wide open again.

Did you sell it?

I did try the 1/2 spacer and it was not faster,as a result of the thin blades that I requested from Gibbs I broke both Bravo 1-36 props.I now have another set of 36s from Gibbs and they were not thinned as much so they should last much longer,they also seem to be as fast as they ran 136 on a DA...

I have a set of Bravo 1 32 pitch left and right for sale they were used once they were just too small,they are stock except the diffuser was cut 1/2 inch and they have been sharpened with a scotch brite wheel,they do not come with hubs.$650 for both and I will pay UPS ground to lower 48.Jack...

The replacement set of 5 blade 34 pitch Herings came in on Friday and I went to the lake very early this morning,I was on the water at 6:45 AM so that I could make use of the cool morning air.The temperature was 58 degrees and the density altitude was 400 feet(the best DA that I have tested in)...

Went to the lake today and I was curious if removing the mufflers would help,it has Imco Gatlin mufflers.The density altitude was 650 feet and it ran 137 MPH,the fastest yet.It does not seem like that removing the mufflers had any effect on top speed,I have been able to predict the speed that it...

Not me,I am on Badin Lake,I might go to Norman later this summer.I live about 2 hours from Norman.

Went to test the V shaped pieces that are pictured above and they really helped the hole shot,it was like it was before with the other drives.The day was 78 degrees and the density altitude was 1700 feet and there was no breeze,it ran 135 on glass water with a lot of trim,the Wilson lowers are...

I fabricated 2 V pieces to help direct the water flow to help the hole shot.

After a few emails with Craig Wilson he helped me find what I think is the hole shot problem,he states that his profiled drives should help the hole shot so he asked what did I change,I only changed from a 1" shortie to a 2" shortie with a 1" spacer,the Imco spacer does not follow the profile of...

Today was good the density altitude was 900 feet and the temperature was 68 degrees.I installed the Wilson Custom Marine profiled lowers with 1"spacers and the JJ Gibbs 36 labbed props,it ran 136 and only turned 6000 RPM.The Wilson lowers really help the slip as it was 11% now it is 8%,now it is...

I got the labbed 36s from JJ Gibbs on Monday and went to the lake,the density altitude was horrible,2500 feet.I was concerned that it might not pull the 36s(which are actually 35s now)but it did ok,it ran 130.5 and it turned 5900 RPM,based on correction factor chart that I have used to estimate...

The water pick ups are only for the drive shower,the motor gets water from the sea strainers which have a pick ups through the hull.

The lowers are re assembled and here are some pictures before re assembly,should have props from JJ Gibbs by Friday and should test by the weekend.

The lowers from wilson Custom Marine arrived and I took them to be reassembled,they look great,I sent JJ Gibbs a pair of bravo 36 pitch props to lab finish and they should be back next week.I had an idle problem on my last trip to the lake and I emailed Ilmor about the problem they wanted the...

Wilson Marine called and they are working on the lowers,the 1.34 gears are in,I have the 1 inch spacers for the 2 inch shorties,,Hering is making a new set of 5 blade props-34 pitch, I sent a set of B1-36 pitch to JJ Gibbs to lab into 35 pitch.I will report back when stuff is in hand.
