Your not kidding. Beefs got a dam fleet of them now. He had the boat out today at the island I went out in the donzi perfect day waters finally warming up. Not exactly race boat water though. During the week the lake is perfect I cruised 80-90 from turtle to chest nut last wednesday not a wake in sight
Got a couple videos. 36 is going out tomorrow to get tightened up trying to get it off rev limiter.

Just curious...what kind (or whose) wheel was he running when it slung a blade? I won't ever run an Etec but is darn sure has a good sound with that setup and speed.

Gary,
That was me (Ken) out on lake Tarpon yesterday. Just trying to get some seat time and get comfortable with the boat. This is my first boat that runs over 80 mph so I am just trying to get familiar with it. It seems like the lake had always been a little rough every time I have been out.
I did speak to Bobby and a few other guys a few months back and he mentioned that guys are out there on Thursday nights, but It sounds like that has been moved to Wednesday?

Beefs is not an e-tec his is a carbed e-tec block with yamaha ignition and a little port cleanup a 15" mid and a 3.0 sportmaster 1.62. He has had a bad run with props the last year. He broke a 24 chopper, 32 ron hill 4 blade, 34 ron hill 3 blade, 34 performance, new 32 mazco and now a new never run 32 mach.
The props broke on 2 different boats, 4 different gear cases, 2 different mid sections and 3 different powerheads. No rhyme or reason but beef seems to be the common denominator???
Ken- we are going out on wed or thurs depending on wind and weather.
