    CONGRATS!!!
    That has got to be a great feeling.
    I'm very envious that mine has been mothballed for so long.
    Started working on her again today, and I have more plans for tomorrow.
    Can't wait to see you get her out on the water.

    just went on trial run,
    two people 200lbs each and close to full fuel tank
    Ambient temp 89deg
    Doug was keeping tabs on instrument readings
    and engine while I drove
    the bad:
    prop is a bit big,needs more fuel and leans
    out and dies sometimes just off idle
    and stopping from speed
    the good:
    went from 69.8 to 78mph..
    Midrange acceleration is brutal,
    if you hit it too hard it will blow away

    First run after installing supercharger. Doug was taping the gauges as well for reference for tuning later. Hit 78mph on this run. Should run a bit more once we get fuel pressure and prop worked out.

    You got it. Sounds great though, really. Can't wait to watch you blow past us in Brandon's slow wave crusher. Can't wait until Saturday. I am so stoked!
