Awesome Todd. Good seeing you saturday. Boat sounds great! How much boost are you making? And what ratio are you turning those blowers?

I am only doing 5 psi of boost right now on some 3.5" pulleys... have some 3.25" to try but want to verify fuel pressures first...
I was shocked at the speed, especially with the fuel. I hit 88 then slowly crept to 91 so Im sure with some chop and a lighter load, we could have seen a few more MPH... but... I am happy with what we have..
Yeah, the hole... well, the hole... I don't know much about it other than this... Didn't hit anything, prop is fine, didn't loose any lube... LUCKY!!!! Found it when I pulled yesterday... the boat listed a little funny during the last mile of the trip back in... think thats when the piece came out. Coudl have been a ****ty repair job from before... dunno...

YIKES!
What size is the drive pulley on the crank for the blower? I have a 3.35" top pulley right now, but my drive pulley is only 5.4" on the B&M setup. So right now mine are turning 1.6 ratio, and making about 5psi.

Sorry I cut the day so short. Was having lot's of little issues and just was not in the mood to work on the motors. Ended up taking the boat over to Bryce's and we went through them and found several vacuum lines, etc that had tears and cracks in them. One of them was even disconnected. Replaced all these lines last night and am hoping these were the cause of my motors running so crappy the last couple times out.
Yours and Reaves boats both look and sound great running.
