    Another winter project completed. New Mills are up and running. Bolted on my 17x29 Four blade props today, and its gonna need bigger wheels for sure. This run was about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. No speed numbers yet, need to get it propped right first, but everything running good. Ryan and I are really in need of some cold beers on the water, and soon!

    Awesome Joe! And congrats to Ryan. I love how you can hear the boat for about 40 seconds before it even comes into view!

    Awesome guys, thrilled for both of you!!!!! It always feels great when a project comes together as well as both of yours. Both rigs look stellar, as we all expected nothing but that from you two. Can't wait to see them on the water guys, and I will bring the sodas!!!!!

    Thanks Guys....actually, another person Ryan and I owe a big thanks to is Tall Keith. Keith really helped both of us ALOT. From running to get parts, wrenching, cleaning, etc. The kid was over there working on stuff with us since snow was falling. He really gave us alot of his time and effort, neither he HAD to do. His help was much appreciated. Now, if he gets himself a boat down the road, at least he knows what he is in for!! He probably learned more about engines, trannies, drives, rigging, props, and carburetors, than most people who owned boats for 10 years still don't know....

    Thanks Keith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    About +5 on ole Pine Lake with Sportmasters....interested to see how the IMCO's will do as they have more of a sleek profile. It will be fun to take up to Hardy to figure out where the trim needs to be etc.
