I got the money shot!!!

[HavasuHank]

We launched Wsuwrhr and his family on Carls Howard. He took some laps to make sure all was well. I snapped this picture as he was having a memorable moment with his family. God bless Carl Peterson and good job Brian.

From what I gather Brian works really hard at what he does. I know he'll really appreciate this picture. Not quite sure if he'll get it on his Motorola razor though. [emoji15][emoji482]

[djunkie]

So how did she do Brian?

 

[wsuwrhr]

So how did she do Brian?

She does good. I'm happy with her. The kids are happy to be boating and they love captaining her. My wife loves it. She didn't want to drive but I made her and she liked it. She has been driving it around. Needs more prop and that always makes everyone happy.

Of course it needs a different prop. It's only fitting.

 

[wsuwrhr]

Of course it needs a different prop. It's only fitting.

It has a 12 1/4" 4 blade tournament ski boat prop on it with two inches of gap to the keel. I think we are doing a 3 blade 13 1/2 16 pitch badboy.

I'm not scared. I have a cool set of tools. Props are still art artform.

I modified this picture to give it a late afternoon look (with the giant duck behind the boat).

 

[redone76]

Just awesome. Congrats on all the hard work sir

 

[purrfecttremor]

I'm so impressed Brian😀

What size is the shaft and rotation.
I have a 13 12 LH. And a 12 15 LH. Both 1" and a couple more around the garage . You can try them if you want .

 

[Rexone]

That's a great shot. Carl is smiling down. Glad the boat is working well Brian. :thumbsup :thumbsup

She has a 1-1/8 shaft and runs off the flywheel.

Oh ok ,well that sucks, I have a velvet drive that came out when I put the t400 in . If anyone is in need of one.

Other than the third gear.....what are the differences between a TH 400 and a glide?

I hope so RexieDexie.

I'd leave the velvet drive in it if it were me. Reverse works way better with it.

 

[Flyinbowtie]

So glad you were able to make this weekend happen for the family Brian. That pic that HH started this thread on would make a wonderful portrait size poster for the wall in your home somewhere...it says so much...means so much...the kind of photograph that caused the "picture is worth a thousand words" analogy to be true.

...I myself am a big fan of velve drives...

It's amazing how big those ducks get out there.

In the Fall, when the water cools down (I think it's full moon in October), I would watch those blue sea turtles swim around Thompson Bay.
