We were joking around about what I would have to pay if the prop fell off while testing, because we didn't put the lock tabs down on the prop shaft nut ...
Pulled out of launch and got her up to about 15 mph, felt OK .. so I gave her some gas !
Got up to about 25 - 30 mph and motor revved up like the prop fell off ... OH CRAP !
Shut motor off and started trimming up ... Praying that the prop was still there ... IT WAS ... Thank you !
Limped back to launch at 10 mph ... Gave her another shot and same thing ... Rev's shot up with no acceleration ...
Didn't do much boating ... But was nice to sit at beach and relax.
Met Shawn's buddy and his family, who have a nice V-173 ... I think ?
Ross's boat seemed to run pretty good, but had some funny noises at full throttle and has a leaky head gasket.
But ran the whole time without dying ... I think he has one problem solved !
Finally got a ride in a jet boat ... Thanks Ross !
But he wouldn't let me drive it, after what I did to Dave's prop ...
Not many pictures ... To much relaxing, I guess ...
I'm thinking about gettin' a pontoon ....
