Sounds awesome! I need another go-fast boat in my life :hs: What’s on it now for prop? I’ve got a handful of Mirage 4 blade labbed props laying around if you want to do some testing.
I have a revolution 23 4 blade, they thought I needed a bravo 1 fs 4 blade 28 pitch, I’m looking for either that or a 26 pitch, this revolution torque steers real bad in the midrange and it scares my wife

Noticed on my first ride water was getting in the bilge from somewhere, I noticed it last year and never managed to track it down, found my oil cooler leaking at a weld, so I upgraded it to the hp500 style cooler ordered not here yet, then I went in-depth inspecting the drop out bolsters they seemed soft, turns out they are really soft like falling apart, so here starts the next boat project, fortunately I can do a lot of work myself

Baby stuff. My entire boat was made of wood like that. The stringers were so rotted that they turned into powder and all that was left is what glass that originally surrounded the structure :bowrofl:


those will clean up nice though
the stringers and trandsom were already done in 2017 so I lucked out there, next thing is the sundeck the wood is rotten on that and the vinyl is smoked

at least you have enough pieces intact enough to just trace the forms for the panels, i saw skizzers and cardboard......already started im guessing.

could you imagine 3800 blatt/drone on the water? it would carry for miles
yeah I was piecing chunks together trying to make a pattern for the bottom of it
