Prop testing week #2
We ( Dave & I ) got there ( WBL ) early (8:00) to beat the DNR/Sheriff for some high speed runs ...
Turns out no DNR/Sheriff and no high speeds !
First run was a 21P Ballistic and only got to 48. something mph and over reving ...
Changed over to the 22P Lazer II and best I could get was 49.3 mph at just over 5000 rpm's ?
Not sure if steering helped the chine walking because I never got over 50 mph !
Might go back to the old steering so at least I get over 50 mph ... LOL
Dave tryed a prop he pick up for cheap and got a few tenths of a MPH slower then his best prop so he was pretty happy !
But his speeds were down also, he'll post his top speed but don't think it was over 50 mph ...
I changed plugs, the plugs in there for last weeks run, came with boat and I don't know how old they were but I ran Sea Foam thru it and just wanted to clean every thing up before installing new plugs ... Starts much better now ... Hot or cold !
I'm gonna have to work on Dave to sell me that two blade prop ... he just won't give it up !
... LOL
We did have a pretty good time crusing around in circles at 35 mph ... Had lunch at the beach and talked boats ... weather was perfect !
Dave ...
Showed picture of your CVX to Sara and she LOVES it ... She asked me why I didn't get a nice boat like that !
