Yes I store indoors in Harrison with Wahoo from OSO. It's an 80 mph boat. I have 2 inch extensions on the speedys (came with it) and so I am losing about 8-10 mph in favor of planing ability. I cruise about 45-55 most of the time. This boat is original, so it is a tad rough in spots. Someday will do a total rerig- but tioll then I enjoy.

I had my Race Boat stored with yours last winter.. It's a nice boat and not that "rough" for its age buy any means.

I also left you a copy of Hot Boat (99 maybe) on your trailer with your boat in it. I was going to give it to you but you were never up there working last winter.

Come to think of it I may have slid the issue under you cockpit cover..

Was your boat moved outside? Had a friend keeping his snowmobile trailer in there and they moved it outside. Something about the building being rented or somethign like that.

Wannabe, with the newer technology 4-blade props available these days for your drives, you can have your cake & eat it too. Remove the drive spacers, install the upgrade props...and you've gained your 8-10 mph back, and plane off easier, both. No kid'n. I agree, we could use a photo or two, lol.:)

It's difficult to find 4 blades for the old 19 spline shafts. I am frankly concerned if I lose these props what do I do?
