« on: June 13, 2013, 06:27:35 PM »
Got to WBL about 2:30 and Dave, Don and Mrs Retro where already there.
Dave got there by 11:00 for prop testing.
He got to try one of Don's super secret prop, results are still top secret and can't be post ...
Mrs. Retro was taking pictures so should be some good one up pretty soon ...

Thanks for the ride Dave !
Nice to meet you Mrs. Retro ...

I wish I would have known I would have came out for a bit.
I think this has become an addiction.

Actually, prop testing is alot of work. I tested 6 props, which meant running back and forth from the trunk of the car to the boat with a prop, taking one off and putting another one on. Then trying to analyse what is happening in terms of whether or not it is a good prop, take readings, and watching out for the water patrol. The best part of the day was the boat ride after the testing, with Gregg and Don around the lake.

It was a lot of fun......And we need to do it again because.........Mrs Retro took the photos off a card and put them into I photo............then erased the card.........then I came along and used my computer skills to close I photo without saving them so it seems they have been lost.  Well maybe at the next photo shoot we will have a CVX 18 and a CV23 to go with the CVX16 &CV16........I am sorry about the lost photos, Mrs Retro really enjoys filming and is not real pleased with my accident. Hope we can organize a photo shoot soon to get me out of the dog house.  I will look around..maybe I have a secret Mercruiser prop laying around :-X

Hey everyone, this is Mrs Retro, Bev.  I'm not sure if you've seen my hubby's recent mssg about how he closed my photo window and lost most of the pics of David CVX-16's Glastron on White Bear Lake.  I see David did post a few of the pics I was able to salvage that I E-mailed him.  I can put up a couple more.  I'll even put up the jet skier pics.
We may be down to Red Wing dropping off parts to Red....I'll have my camera's along.

No problem with the lost photos Don. Set up a new date for a White Bear Lake photo session and bring your SRX prop and Bev along. LOL.
