, with about 15-17 gallons of fuel (nose tank), 4400 rpm, 21+ s/s tri-blade prop, and lots of trim. Using the AMD Prop/Speed calculator that figures to .12020364 slippage. A non-GPS pass later in the day hit 4600 RPM, which would translate to 62.0 MPH :sqeyes: (I know, it doesn't count since it's not GPS verified :boxingguy , but I like it!!). It should go faster as the fuel level drops, but I never had another chance to run on GPS due to the weather

. She did great, and I would trust her on any future tow (unless we are using the Dodge, since she still can't drive a stick). 
Reply With QuoteWe from the Snohomish Group had a very nice time, despite losing two boats. ( Not sunk thankfully) The wind was merciful, and we had no weather related delays at Potholes. Jetster Jeff developed a lower end knock, after a fluctuating oil pressure gauge. I had the pump bearing let go puking grey matter out of the front of the pump. I'll pull the engine, check bearings for any damage to the thrust, etc... I'm fully anticipating a major pump rebuild, and am sorta wondering if I would be better off going with a different pump altogether. I now have a Jacuzzi WJ with a new Place diverter. I need thoughts on this, as well as pricing. I'm not totally against a hull modification, but we all know how much fun that is. I could run a blown 454 that will give me the torque required to get me to 6000 RPM with a "B" cut, using the Jacuzzi. G.R. is the dude to beat this coming year, ran 72 on the GPS. Craig is the man for towing me in against the stiff eastern Wa. breeze. Wade and Mary towed Jeff in and get a huge thank you for that. Rode bikes around, and all in all was good. We didn't make it to Blue cuz of the breakage. On the return trip I ran through a lost crate of Apples, making Freeway apple sauce all over the caravan! That stuff is slippery! Gotta go, I'll check in with all soon...Matt :smile:
