Ran our first poker run of the year... it was a bit rough.. 30 MPH winds and there were a dozen or so boats in front of me when I started out...
Passed quite a few until I blew the elbow off the blower then noticed I had shredded the alternator belt... I'll get it straightened out yet...![Smilie](/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Running about90 - 95 MPH.. Neutral trim with a little tab...
I've been trying to get away from running a 5 blade prop (P5x) to save my drive, but I LOVE the attitude of the boat with it.. May just have to chance it..

Switched to a 1/2" smaller blower pulley. Boost comes on MUCH harder and still seems to be ok for pump gas..
