Couple strut tweaks and a prop swap gave us 78mph running as if on rails.
I'm stoked this beast is a rush to drive.



Same day unknown at the time one cylinder was hurt from a previous blown water line overheating engine :blink: reason it was sagging off every so often.

Thanks guys, quite rewarding when all the hours thinking while producing nothing going on and on before wood gets cut finally comes together and actually works as you had hoped.
I'm pretty stoked hull runs as well as it does with what is quite conservative a prop on during the video shoots.
Hope to find mid 80's after getting the teething pains out of the way ... motors got the balls without a doubt, just need to prop the beast so cable/drive components are not getting beat too death :blink:

* MTC 8mm prop shaft stepped to 1/4"
* H.D. golden strand Suhner square end drive cable.
* Custom Hot pipes & manifolds
* Reworked HMH rpm pipes with hot pipe flanges attached allowing pipe swaps on same manifolds.

Man that boat is bad ass!!!

Scott, is the back of your carb cover closed? Are the carbs pulling air from the tub?

;) Thank you Marc ...

Yes the boxed in area is covered all sides except that area facing tubs interior.
Airflow feeding carbs comes in along exhaust side and from behind ( For Now )
* Am waiting on a few NACA ducts and will be placing one within the forward tank access cover so I get "Pass threw" air which hopefully may find me even more power / consistency.
