He & I have chatted as well, sounds like he's been logging a bunch of hours in private jets. Tough life, I remember hearing our pilots having to take Mr. Hendrick's daughter & her friends to Panama...

Having the opportunity to run the boat w/ Ben Robertson was an invaluable learning experience & I appreciate him making the 3hr trek to Charlotte to share his expertise as well as lend a helping...

I was up there all afternoon Sat docked at a buddies house. He lives dead ahead as you come that way before you make the turn right towards the bridge. Large green roof over his boat slip.

If I...

Thanks BG, I'm very pleased w/ the reliability I've gained w/ this package. With a little dialing in I think I'll have an awesome package.

I'm sure I'll be out & about at some point this weekend....

A few pics of the p/u at Skater, the return to Chlt & initial splashdown. Hope to get a few running shots this weekend.

Made the roundtrip to Skater Thurs & Fri. Boat looked great, Trevor & Paul did a nice job w/ the rigging throughout.

I attached the sea trial log that was completed by Skater. Back to back testing...

Loto had put a wrench in our prop testing the past several days but nevertheless Trevor ran the boat again today w/ the 16.5 x 35's & 37's w/ the 1/2" spacer just to confirm the boat does not want...

Have a fellow boater out at LOTO trying to negotiate the use of these in order to complete the test & tune.

Unfortunately no test time took place today, poor conditions so we elected to wait until first of the week.

I did receive a blank copy of the Sea Trial Test Sheet. Once my boat has been dialed in...

Heres a link to a live stream video from prop testing earlier today. 12 min vid not the best quality but for me it was like I was there. I originally posted the link in a new thread this afternoon...

ILMORS are quiet to begin with, more high pitched like an indy car. And yes I have mufflers. I believe they are Custom Marine.

More to follow later

I think it's a conspiracy, everyone but the boat owner can see. He must be blocking my IP address! Bastards!

I think you are right now that you mentioned it!

Quit complaining I couldn't even see the video of my own boat!!:D

Not usre this works but here's the link, about to start. Said if nothing loads click on videos then back to home page!

The plan is to hit Lake Michigan at 2pm today. Trevor puts in at Mackatawa (sp?) which dumps into the big lake! I guess those of you that are close by may be able to check it out.

I'm not sure, Trevor normally calls me EOD. He said he was going to shoot me a link for a streaming video so we'll se. The small lake they test on can be seen from the main drag in the town of...

Yeah so awesome it's making it hard to test b/c they run out of room, LOL! Hopefully Lake Michigan conditions are better today, thats where they really need to run in order to be able to stretcg her...

In this case Trevor & Paul preformed the drive retrofit & they are the ones testing the boat as well. Who better to judge their work than themselves?? Based on the 2 days of testing it appears they...

Trevor splashed the Skater yesterday w/ a pair of Hering 5 blade 16.5 x 35's & it ran 126 heavy on the chips out on Lake Michigan 1/2 tank w/ 3 on board in 2' chop.

This was to be expected based...

FD,

I don't believe I did have the no slack ones which may have been the ticket but since the drive sends an electronic indicator signal it made sense to convert the tabs to the same system w/ 1...

Quick, call the border patrol, don't let him cross into Canada!:driving:

thanks

Are there any other options for #6 Propshaft covers beyond the billet ones I see on Monster Marines site?

While everyone knows what role Peter Hledin plays behind the Douglas Marine / Skater product I wanted to give credit to 2 others who have played a major role in my outdrive upfit.

They are Trevor...
