Hey Glen,

What have you been able to squeze out of your boat for performance. You said once that you were getting mid 80's with a labbed prop. Still getting that?

Hows the boat doing on the poker run circut?? If I can't ride in mine yet at least I can live vicarously through you!!!

Pete was out today to look at mine, he should send me some pictures tomorrow so I will get them posted.

Mike

Wink 83-86 FRESH WATER

Just spent 3 + weeks on the Chesapeake Bay, north
end, fresh water, Northeast River, Sassafrass R, Elk R,
Bohemia R, Susquehanna too. Motored from Charlestown
south to Annapolis in an hour and a quarter and "putted"
around the Severn R, encountered alot of blow boaters,
Annapolis is a big sailing area. Our last Poker Run was
Tampa Bay, it was great fun. Our pictures are in Poker Run
America this issue. Got an advance copy thanks to Jo N.
We have got a great prop man (prop tol ogist) here in
Christmas FL. If anyone is interested!! Hey, Got pics??

Cheese and rice man, that thing is honking.

You should have put that motor on a dyno, it's gotta be putting out more than 600 at the prop doesn't it?? I have no idea what the ITS setback will do for my boat. I may get a labbed prop for special occasions, I just don't think it will handle the river up here, but LOTO I think it would do just fine.

I subscribed to PRA and never got an issue, I'll have to see if I can pick one up, August issue?? Nice seeing boats you know in the mags!

Mike, when the boat is ready are you coming down to pick it up or are you having it delievered? You should come to South Florida for a brake-in week, the weather is now boating weather, got to hit the water now

You can't rush perfection, within a reasonable amount of time, Allthough I am as impatient for my boat as anyone else, I understand being in the custom home business the trials and tribulations these boat builders have to endure, its not that easy, and unfortunatly you are as good as only the people that work for you. I tip my hat off to the little guys that put out the best quality possible at reasonable prices to the average guy. Congradulation to the Nunez family, Keep up the good work
