Hate to say it but I'm going to have to pass. Too much stuff on the "honey-do" list! I'll fix the boat up and have more time after Wizard of Oz closes (next weekend)

I think this has become an addiction.

Not me!  I'm running a 6 blade 19P Plastic, oops...sorry fancy talk time 'Composite' prop.

Kip loves the Merc High 5 Prop on his.  I'd like to try a 4 Blade 21P or 23P and see what that would for hole shot...and maybe Kips prop sometime as well.

Shawn

I am running a Laser II 23pitch, Have not tried out to much in props but I did have a Mirage on it for a while but the Laser worked out better.

Would let you try out the Laser but my boat will be up in Detroit Lakes for the next 2 weeks.  I have a 25 pitch Laser II , but I think it would be to much.

Doran you just need to try it on a lake you know and then no-worries about banging it up. We'll talk at the meet in August. Hoping I can get the same spot I had last year.

I'm busy this weekend but the CVX18 fired right up this week and ran like a champ in the driveway. So it will be ready for the meet if nothing else.

Would love to join you guys but my dad's place in grand rapids got trashed during the storms last week so I'm going to help pick up the pieces.  Unfortunately the pontoon (and the lift) got lifted out of the water and landed upside down on the dock, so I guess I'll HAVE to take my glastron up.  ;D

All packed up and ready to roll. CVX-16's first river run. Using the Raker 20" for the heavy load. Gas tank full and over flowing - at the gas station and in the garage - learning curve. Where is that insurance for gas spills?
