I just did a search on Superboat and found this post. (Never used the search option before).

Anyway, my latest top speed was at the Conn. River Run. I GPSed at 74.5. running my Bob's 10 in Hydraulic jacked as high as it would go before losing pressure, and my DAH worked 24 Chopper. I borrowed an older CLE for this event.

I returned homw to find that my head gasket is blown (75 psi on the bottom left), and there is a chunk out of the borrowed CLE from some rocks that we hit at slow speed. (I was following someone who I thought knew the waters but obviously didn't). We had fun though despite the damages. Pulled my powerhead off since, and it is sitting on my workbench waiting to be reringed. I am also planning on getting a set of heads.

Mike

I never tried a Bob's, I originally had a Sportmaster, and yes I think the CLE works much better. I hear a Bobs might even be better than a CLE.
