Great video Randleman. What was your top speed and at what rpm. ??
Ok, how about monthly payments of 25 bucks. 8)

There is nothing for me to click?? :'(

Top speed was 41.7, I think......at around 5300-5400 rpm. *I realized when I got home and watched the video that I only videoed top speed headed into the wind, I think it was going close to 45 mph with the wind @ 5600-5700 rpm. *Wind was blowing 10-15 mph.

Cruise of 25 mph @ 3700 rpm.

I saw it....very nice cam.

Better not show this to the chief....driver not paying attention, turned around facing stern trying to videotape stuff....later we see an under-aged driver captain the boat.....

Oh and the red tool box right in front of the engine - priceless!

Just kidding RB - you tha man! I vote you Dawg of the week for fixing the overheating problem. Was it that pesky poppet valve or mainly the impeller?

[randlemanboater]

I'd say a combo of the water pump and sand.

No, we had some heavy rain a little while back, it's usually much better than that. Must be some new construction going on upstream.

The question is, can I keep up with Willy? I don't see how. First retirement, then jet setting to Fla a couple of times a month, now a brand new boat.......My friends, it is good to be Willy these days.

[phester]
