I'm sure he gave you hell while he was standing!

He gave it everything he had I think. We started at the "free" 2 hour bar at Embassy Suites then Rio City Caf? for dinner and had to have more drinks while the girls danced at Delta Queen or whatever that hotel/bar is. To be fair, I don't think any of us were far off from passing out when we walked back to the hotel. Finally got my wife to drive the Skater a lil bit yesterday afternoon, she loved it.

I'm going to try to make it up for at least a day of fun! Kids are both amidst all-star games, so schedules are kind of difficult.

Beautiful day...nice temps...slightly Ruffled water.:.

Put on the 32 BBLADES Blaster and took a few easy passes.

i ran it up to 6500 RPM @ 116 mph and it had plenty left to go. The DBR is running insanely good. When I run it to 7100 RPM , speed goes to 126 MPH. I'll need my big boy pants for that run.

The 21' Cougar handles the speed very comfortably as the Merc screams behind me. :thumbsup

What prop are you running for max holeshot/acceleration?

I run a stock 26xs on a 300xs 22MTR. Looking to buy a load carrying ski wheel. What's better? Just drop to a 22 or 24xs? Or something like a High 5?

Today I just snatched the 22 Bravo off my family boat.... It actually worked
Okay , but a true 3 blade Lightning ET , or something of that nature would have been much better. The Bravos have a 10% slip factor....

On the 300xs motor, a 24 pitch would still give you 70+ mph and good low end. A 22, however , would give you 65+ mph and awesome bottom end. Towing skiers with a load of people, go with the 22.

My speed props are BBLADES 30-32 pitch 4 blades.

Thanks War Canoe!

BB Blades Blaster? I've been thinking that would be my next best prop. With a DBR 1.1 kit, do you have a pitch recommendation?

Here Kevin challenges the entire beach of Big Blocks to a drag with his nasty outboard...I think he had them intimidated. LMFAO!!!

I told him that calling them "Blower Bitches" and "Goddammed ditch pumps" might be making them hesitant to race. Kevin said, "WTF, I only got 153 cubic inches, why are they complaining?"

I interviewed a few car boaters and they let me know on the down low that racing that "fucking whacker" is a no win situation. "If you win, you should have, if you lose you look like a dork...and most of us have lost to him." I offered them an emotional support animal to ease the tension.

God, I love to stir the pot.

Had a good time at CFW. Kids were in the boat 90% of the time however on Sunday the wife and I raced a jetter and beat him pretty easily.
Good times :)

Having a 300X DBR power plant, the prop options are many. I am going to purchase a 28 to cover the bottom end and stick with my 32 to cover the top. I was planning on running a 34, but the speed is becoming an issue for me.

I also have made it a habit to wear my lifeline jacket on EVERY run. Also, I make sure my kill switch is attached to the jacket.

I now check my steering system hoses and hardware. I will ALWAYS check my lower unit(which I found loose recently) and propeller nut (I double nut mine).

Boating is really fun, and potentially dangerous .... I'd rather boat a little slower and a lot LONGER....:thumbsup

See you all on the water, please check your boat and wear your vest. :thumbsup

Bully, when do you get the Talon? What mph do you expect it to run? Our buddy F14 had a 22 i/o with 750hp and it was an amazing boat, handled great, no porpoise at ANY speed and accelerated fantastic.
