The nice thing is its in the shade most of the day when its on the boat lift at the lake. I thought with the black we could use it earlier and later in the season because it would be warmer. (ha ha) I will let you know how it goes if we have a nice weekend.

AWESOME video Gill, I was afrais mine would blow over when I starteed to get the bow that high! Guess I need to grow some balls and get some more seat time!!!

You still gotta watch the trim .The 2nd or 3rd run comin from the bridge was way too much trim and I dont recommend it

Over trimming at high speeds is not good even in the heavier HST.Theres a differance between the boat gettin light and the boat gettin too light!!!Youll figure it out,youll learn the feeling,like they say the HST talks to ya once ya listen to it,take it easy,Practice makes perfect!!!I was told by Balzy ya gotta let the boat get set !!!What that means im not exactly sure but i think im learning the feeling!!Ive put alot of hours in this boat in the short time ive had it,probably too many,but im havin fun so who cares

Be safe and have fun!!

Ran the 24ET copy yesterday.Me and the wife in the boat got 99.6mph on the GPS.Hit the recall and it between 8900-9000rpms.I had no blow out this time so i know the rpms were correct!Accelerated better ofcoarse but i like the way my SRX feels,more topend too!!!

Heres some pics of the 24 ET copy I got from Balzy!

**bigboy** · 10-05-2008, 01:13 PM

Looks like a nice prop too

Can you post some good pictures of your srx? I wonder what Dah exactly did to this prop?

**king gill** · 10-05-2008, 02:08 PM

Im not sure what DAH did to this 27 SRX prop,there is some good cupping to lift that heavy bow on my HST and the leading edge seems nice and thin and it spins some good RPMs.It takes off great and has good top end numbers.Balzy said it was a great prop before he sent it in,I do know DAH is supose to be one of the best for working a SRX.I had a 27SRX on my vking worked by DAH and that prop worked excellent also!!I sold that srx when I sold the vking,didnt think I would need it anymore

Ya really cant see anything to special in these pics!!!

**bigboy** · 10-05-2008, 02:16 PM

THx KG

Hey Venus,

Been out playing with yours lately?

I guess I could post a few pix of an HST faster than the "1991 Balzy Edition Hydrostream HST 2.5 merc" (BTW love that!!) - (top end only) Balzy and I turned many miles side by side running twisting rivers just wide enough for jet ski's. Many years of fun!!! Glad to see his old boat in good hands!! <O

</O

I'll dig up some pix, have to search a few disks<O

Wow its really you..I thought you were just an imaginary friend he had. He always talked about his buddy and his HST that was 1 MPH slower

Yours is personnalized and modified from stock also,right???Centersteer?And yes I would love to see some pics.I remember looking on the Hydrostream registry and telling the wife,Ive heard HST's are slow but if that Red and checkered one was ever for sale i would buy it,and wow wouldnt ya know!Got on SNF searched HST,seen yours,Balzys found out set up right they fly and like Paul Harvey says"now you know the rest of the story"
