Thread: 71.8 And Loaded

    thought I would finaly post the GPS from Labor Day weekend. Ran a 71.8 on GPS with let's see one Dad at 210lbs, one wife at 114lbs, one dog at 50lbs, one driver at 230lbs and a full tank of AV 29 gallons. I think for every gallon of gas is 6lbs. Also had the Bimini top up and a pump with a 1/8 clearence between empeller and wear ring. I think 71.8 is pretty good, and the cool thing about it is Dan (Squirtcha?) saw the whole thing I.E. verified the GPS. I gotta thank Phil Bergeron for building me an awsome motor and Dan Haase for the finishing touches.

    That was my prediction. Might've even been better than a 5 mph gain. James also forgot to add in a full (big ass'd cooler). He had to be packing an additional 600 lbs of weight.
    Incidentally james...............If you've sent any emails since we got back, I didn't get em. Just made the switch to cable and I haven't gotten everything setup just yet. Give me a call when you get the chance?
    Man I should've done this years ago. Cable is unbelievably fast when compared to a 50K dial up connection.

    Once you go cable you'll never go back to 50K

    Amen to that brother. It's almost instantaneous. Click on a post (even with a ton of big ass'd pictures) and it opens in a second (sometimes less). Way cool!

    Dan your still alive good to see your back. Let me know how everything turns out with the new cable set up. I think Chay'le and I are going to do the same. We have DSL now and its just not working for us. Can't wait to pull the motor this winter and refresh the pump think I should get close to 80. Yeah I will give you a call on Sunday Chay'le has to work so I'll be trying to find some things to do
