    Cell Phone Tower Lease Question

    $1500 to $3000 per month. Many negotiable items. Company will start at the low end. If they really want the site they will pay especially if there are coverage gaps that only this property can cover.

    World's Greatest Drag Race

    We are fortunate to live in a day where there are so many great and fast cars. A good half or more of those cars on the list are out of reach for most folks though. Regardless the cars that had a manual transmission (Grand Sport and ZL1) were at a severe disadvantage compared to the autos and...

    HB Cop Shoots Teen To Death In Front Of 7-11

    You don't shoot knees out with a gun. That is moronic. First its nearly impossible to hit. Second it won't stop the threat. Leaking out their hydraulic fluid or hitting the T box (CNS) is how threats are stopped.

    Indmar engine reflash

    Not sure what your are trying to accomplish here. More HP via a tune will yield virtually no noticeable nor measurable performance gains in that hull. I'm not knocking it but that is likely the reality. If you want to go faster I would change hulls.

    Screw it. I'll eat crow.

    Don't get too wired over nailing down every data point in the fuel map. MEFI 1 will limit your fidelity. You and your motor won't care if cruise AFR is 13.1 or 12.8. It will be transparent other than what the gauge reads. If it was 10.3 or 14.0 at cruise I'd fix it. Have fun. Love hearing...

    Rev 4 21p Prop

    Your friends speedo is grossly off. Swapping props will never net a 6-10 mph increase OR decrease (prop size within reason of course). If you want more stern lift you want a prop with less rake and less blade sweep. Your Rev 4 21" is pretty close to ideal right now. If you were to try...

    What a huge Fuck Up!!

    Drama is acting or play as if it were real. In this case it WAS real. She was not a drama queen. She knew full well she was being violated. Nice coloring the victim T&Y.

    4 blade Bravo 24p, 5 blade high five 21p Both Stainless and pristine

    Yes, just to echo the other comments, the High 5 is a fine prop, but not what your are looking for.

    Prop question/opinion

    The other option is to have the Rev 23 worked on. Add a touch of trailing edge cup without thinning the blades might get you the rpm reduction you seek at WOT if you think a Rev 25" would be too much.

    Prop question/opinion

    I edited my post as you responded. Have you tried a 25" Rev 4?

    Prop question/opinion

    I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence regarding the pitch element so for that I apologize. Most of the props I've tested have the same blade area when changing pitch. I have seen some variation in the 3 blade line up however. I can't swing the size Bravo prop or Rev prop with my small...

    4 blade Bravo 24p, 5 blade high five 21p Both Stainless and pristine

    If you are looking for a B1 24 I would NOT get a High 5 21. The High 5 would be under-propped (not enough pitch), even with the 5th blade.

    Prop question/opinion

    The blade area will be virtually the same between the 21" and 23" Rev 4 prop, only the pitch (blade root angle to hub measurement) will change slightly. Blade area is useful in establishing how much power can be transmitted to the the water. It's the entire combination of pitch, blade area...

    Prop question/opinion

    Just for reference, a High 5 has about 16.3 sq. in. of area per blade. A Rev 4 has 28.5 sq. in. of area per blade. Total blade surface area for a High 5 is about 81.5 sq in Total blade surface area for a Rev 4 is about 114.25 sq in.

    Need motor pulled

    Just another option. I built a gantry out of lumber and used a 1 ton chain fall. Worked like a champ. Cut the wood up when done and had some firewood.

    Prop slip

    I just hand calculate it. Its very easy to do. I would be somewhat skeptical at those slip numbers, but like anything the quality of the information going into the equation will directly impact the quality of the answer.

    Fire glass / beads for propane fire pit...

    Looks like I got here too late. Use LARGE lava rock (it won't pop and break if using the right kind). The lava rock will emanate the heat better. Make sure your gas tubes have holes point DOWN. Most put the holes up which causes long term issues (debris, water etc).
