Was an awesome day today, sunny all day, tiny waves, perfect weather, now if they could just turn on the lazy river at boaters beach again that be sweet.
I thought I saw Brians old boat there today.. was it?

Ran good George. Defiinitly gonna try some 4 blades. Lots of slip with the 3 blades. I can turn your 3 blades 28's to 5500 on flat water...Im thinkin some 4 blade 28's might do the trick..Cruising at 3500rpm puts me around 45-50mph. To get on plane it needs about 4000 rpm before they grab and boat lays over. Air cleaners worked out perfect. Thanks again!
The boat seems to handle well though even with the 3 blade props on the top end. Really was a rewarding weekend. Redhotsommer has some great pictures and a video i am sure he will be posting up.

Oh ok.. I saw those big boats tied together but wasn`t sure who it was.
My wife was like yeah that`s gotta be Brians boat..
Now I know why all that noise was about but it didn`t seem like it was getting on plane , but man I gotta tell ya it sounds AWESOME!!!!
I have one Bravo 4 blade 28 that I`m not using, just incase you found another one and wanted to try em let me know

ABSOLUTELY great day yesterday! Didn't know you were out there IC...you should have come over and said hi! We were going to go to Wells St., but it was so flat and so fun just cruising, we ended up at Boaters anyway. My sincere apologies to the young man who thought his Jet Ski went 70 mph (as they ALL seem to think) and was in full-tilt aero-racing position when I bumped it up to 4k and lazily drove past him.
Joe's boat is REALLLLLLY loud...I'll work on getting the pics and vids up this morning...gave me goose bumps watching her run...I'm sure Brian is out there somewhere with a huge smile on his face. You did GREAT work Joe, congratulations.

It was nice to see the Fountain in the water with the L.E.D.s on and the radio going. Then he fired it up LOUD. You watched the boat rock back and forth. My only problem was i didnt get to hear the 5000 RPM rev. but it was 10:30 at night.

Thanks Mike. It was one of the biggest projects ive attempted since I been in this game. Initially it all sounded so easy, to just drop some motors in and go boating. But there was so much more to it. I too am really happy that it got to get some run time.
You know Brian was laughin at me and you in the bilge friday night trying to get that friggin hose back on!

Thanks, and thanks for the drinks and pizza. You shoulda stuck around for some choice 80's music from the hippie kids Ipod after we left the yacht club. Mike and michelle are always great company even if we had to drink warm beer and eat cold chicken wings at 330am. It totally made sense at the time though.

Now thats T-dock boating there besides the warm beer. But the chicken is all good. I would've been down there and listened to some tunes but i didnt know you guys were going to stay up and party.

The hatches no problem i think they would look sweet. We can pop mine off and set them on your boat and see what they look like and go from there. Now as far as the blowers that might work too just have to see how the job goes. Then GIDDY UP
