Looking good and glad you had a chance to splash it. Sounds like you are close to having a running boat in a lake!

From the pictures it sure looks like there’s no wires on it.
And I can’t find a picture that shows it being wired. I will check tomorrow and see as I know it was wired before. |

Boat is nearly done. Waiting on Ski pole.
Went for a break-in run couple weeks ago. ran around for about an hour and a half. Everything is fine, motor pulls real strong. Has a slight stumble in about 1750 on acceleration. Nothing serious a few adjustments should take care of that. Took two speedometers and both failed us so I could get no reading on speed. Prop does not seem too far off, but will easily overspeed engine. Next time out, I will take good pictures and videos to post and I’m sure be discussing the prop change. Felt bad about disturbing the fisherman on a nice Friday afternoon. She’s pretty loud!! |

Friday afternoon fishermen kind of expect it I think, at least you aren't putting up mountains of waves like a wake boat. I always try to stay away from morning fishermen when we ski early. Checking speed with gps and assuming your tach is accurate seeing speed vs. rpm will tell the story on the prop. When you say it easily overspeeds the engine, what rpm were you seeing?

It would easily rev to 5000.
If I did not get out of it, it would’ve passed that and kept going I think. But again, I don’t know how fast we’re going If I had to guess I would say at least 45 mph Next trip out, I will get some exact readings on both RPM and speed. |
