The splash went OK with a few minor issues.

140 with 2 people, 12 gal fuel, 23p aluminum / 42.2 MPH.
120 with 2 people, 8 gal fuel, 21p aluminum / 36.5 MPH.

I'm sure I will gain a couple more MPH with some prop testing & tune-up

Engine has a knock but not sure whats causing it, it will have to come out this fall and get opened up.

You wanted to break 40 and you did. What's up with the knock? I don't imagine you were able to hear it run when you bought it  :(

Didn't buy it Ross, it was out of a free donor boat.
I did run it out of the boat but with no muffler I didn't hear the knock.

No photos of the run?  Could the knock be coming from the u joints or a loose flywheel or is it for sure coming from the motor?
