Why my summer is not over

[Sweet Addiction]

Good luck with your new Check' . I love My 251 I just put in a new 502 with aliminum heads making a tad over 500hp and we are running 76 on GPS with 3 on board a 3/4 take of fuel. Summer ended for me this weekend. the duck hunters take over the lake.

Thanks,
I am absolutely thrilled with it. Went out this weekend for the second time and I feel much more comfortable driving it now. It was taking some getting use to. Sorry to hear your summer is over, the weather is turning a little crappy here so I may be putting the boat up soon. Well, just for a little while.
later, Jared.

Well the water was a little cold but I had to go out anyway. Got the timing and jetting pretty much set, spaced the propshaft back a little. It seemed real quick and didn’t mph to bad either for only 12gears in the box, I’ll try the 18’s at the track. Anyway I think tuning from here will have to be done at the track so here's how the afternoon went. :hammerhea :hammerhea
Ready for launch (http://www2.***boat.com/image_center...t=7&thecat=500)

Dang 101 mph. Thats flyin. I wish my boat would run 100 +. But then it might scare the living shit out of me. Seems you had an excellent run. At least you can say it was a good end to the season and she is ready to hit the water in the spring. Good luck with those future trial runs.

The boat is used for pulling the kids tubing, cruising the swim beaches and an ocasional lake race 95% of the time. The rare 5% it actually goes to sanctioned races. I'm not sure many people would like the new engine combo, its a little on the impractical side for most. It won't run straight 91 octane, it won't idle much below 1200rpm, but it does run when you stand on it! :crossx: :crossx:
The engine is not the only thing that lets this boat run, its had extensive bottom work and some hardware relocation too.

The only thing I don't like about your old POS is it's almost twice as fast as my old POS!
