it's incredibly strong. I went out Saturday with just the wife and I and we only took a bottle of water. We had maybe a half of a tank of fuel. Then Sunday I took 4 people and a cooler full of ice and beer plus 200 gallons of fuel. Nothing was different. Out of the hole my midrange cursing speed and the top end was the same. So the big torque certainly showed its self.

You said a mouth full. For the most part I'm very impatient. But from now on I'm going to work at just chilling out. Its been well worth every minute of waiting. I would wait all over again for the results I got. Incredible!

The exhaust rattle is gone as well. We just needed to get the tails out past the hump in the platform. We ended up using a set of flappers that are made by Harden Marine. These go over the end of the tips and have a bolt to tighten on the bottom instead of the top. These added another 3 inchs to the over all length. I haven't taken a pictures of those yet. Ill do that in the morning and post those on the tread. With out those we could have used flappers at all because there wasn't enough room for the bolt to be on the top. You will see what I mean once you see the pictures.

Im going to do the video. I want to get her broke in and re propped first. I want to put the real deal on video if you know what I mean. Already I have just mashed her for a few seconds she shows in the mid 80s and turning something like 5500. All three times I have leaned on her a little she has been still climbing big time when I backed out

Glad the boats doing well, good luck on the prop search and cant wait to hear it.

Thanks for the offer Norm, but I'm a 4 Season person. Been to Florida several times and I don't think I'll go back. Love the Adirondacks and the way of life. Even when we get 2'-3' of snow and it's -20°. Just throw another log on the fire.

Lucky, a company called Astak Action Pro makes a camera real similar to the GoPro and it even uses the GoPro accessories. I got mine from ebay for $125 including shipping.

Theres a link to my YouTube channel, all the boat videos where the camera is on the windshield, as well as the ones where the camera is on the windshield of the race car (and inside the car), theres a few from where I used it underwater snorkeling in the Bahamas. That will give you an idea on the picture and sound quality.
Now it doesn't have the really up to date features of the highest price GoPro's like the wifi so you can live stream the footage to a smartphone/tablet, and it has a detachable screen that's small (a little over an inch wide...not sure how big the go pro screen is).
Anyway, ive had it a couple years now and its a good deal for the money IMO. I also comes with several mounts that you can stick them onto stuff with.
