Great shot.....I like to joke about mine that hopefully one day one of them will take care of me when I'm old.

Kracker- My kids love Sponge Bob! That is some serious chef talent right there!! Oh and you know I love me some cold Fatty Nattys!!

RWilson -I tease my oldest all the time that I will be living with he and his family when I'm old and senile, so just get ready!

Reel - Yeah I was surprised to see those numbers. She was really moving, had her trimmed perfectly, little chop. Wish I would have brought my GPS! I should have a little cup added to my prop to bring those numbers down a little and maybe gain a mph or 2! My engine builder is a Merc man. He races them just about every weekend. I told him what I was turning, he said she's built, let her turn!

Just make sure those carb jets stay open and flowing...I just learned what happens when one leans out...

I hear you on that! Sorry about your Merc, was there any warning? A miss or anything? Lower RPMs? I am paranoid about that... I leaned out one of my Yamahas on my Mako a few years ago and she popped. I had switched tanks, turned one valve off, thought other valve was open. Starved both motors of fuel, but dummy me kept pushing the throttles toward the fiberglass. I finally realized what I did, opened the other valve and had no problems the rest of the way in. The next morning I was idling out, port motor started knocking and that was all she wrote
