Lake Manawa, curious how many props that lake has eaten.  Omaha Marine once told me they would only sell several props a year if it wasn't for Manawa.  Nice cove area to hang out, but between props and crowds, I tend to hit the river instead.  Do you ever put in the river at Manawa?  It's our southern most launch now Bellevue is gone.  Good to hear ya got out, my Z is ready and able but everyone is busy with other things.

So far the Lake hasn’t eaten any props , on our first run of the year mid April it did eat my camera , trying to take a selfi at full throttle , darn waves !! I guess that’s why they put wrist straps on them !!!

Hey your boat looks great, is it all original or has things been done on it.  One of my project boats is just like yours but definitely a project. lol.  Was curious what it runs out at with the 115 on it.  Thanks, Jim.

Original except for interior , P.O. redid it 2 years ago. Hit 50 mph with 3/4 tank of gas in the bow and trimmed a little . I have a 13 1/2 x 19 prop on it right now , runs out at 5200 rpm.
