Look at this Fountain Guy coming in my forum talking Cigarette talk 
I`ll disagree with your turning In theory on my boat.. Top speed should be with the drives as level with the boat as possible. If I have to trim super high turning IN then the drives are just pushing the boat on an uneven level trying to carry the bow. The water is hitting the bullets in all the wrong ways.
Now that i know I don`t have to trim as high with turning OUT I think it`s a step in the right direction. Ryans drives are deeper in the water and no boxes it will ride different.
Thats my theory anyway.

Thank you for the lesson on Cigarette hulls and the dynamics of propellers, x dimensions, prop rotation, etc.
I'll go back to the Fountain forum!

OK ICDEDPPL.....whats the update on your boat. I may have missed it somewhere else on OSO, but I haven't heard how your boat is running this year? I know you've done a lot of work and updates... Any pics? Top speed #?

Hello Mr. Creed!
I took on quite a bit this year. The big ones were , gas tanks, interior, fuel system, all new 1050 QF carbs ....and Stainless Marine gen 3 exhaust.. the "while you`re in there might as well" are stereo, pickups, Daytona ignitions, new pulley/belts..3rd battery, EGT gauge, puke tanks etc.
Nobody sticks to a timeline anymore, 7-10 days for exhaust coating turned into show up with the cops to get my stuff 4 months later.
Took out interior in October, nothing but blown deadlines and broken promises to this day.
As she sits today:

I have been working everyday on my boat we are close should be starting them Thursday, maybe then I can get my life back....
The only thing that makes me feel better about not being in the water yet is this season has not gotten off to a good start weather wise.
Hope you get this Cig in the water soon!

Oh sh!t, sorry to hear this bad news. Seems a lot of people are running into people/businesses that just don't give a fu#k about YOUR needs. Ok, well I was ready for a positive story with some nice speed results! Maybe next time... Please post pics as you get your sh!t done!
