Sorry it took so long. My laptop didn't feel like editing so I didn't do much to it.

That looks pretty darn well behaved, I don’t think I would mess around with the bottom at all. I’d just run it and enjoy it.

[Fonz69]

there is 5 mph in the hook when removed we did our 23

Did you remove the hook in the sponsons as well as the center pod?

The last 2 feet rear sponsons, center pod is fine as is

I'm just gonna leave this here....

An extremely gracious board member loaned me a 28" max5 prop. The boat responded.

[WILDMAN]

Gotta be happy with that !! What rpm?

[engineermike]

Hard to say exactly, but it was very close to 7000.

[engineermike]

I logged some fuel economy data too. It gets 4.0 mpg at 60 mph and 3.0 at 80.

[HydroSkreamin]

Awesome news! Going for more?

That fuel economy is impressive for such a big heavy 4-stroke.

Glad to hear you went with the 5 blade and it did as suspected. This project will shine some positive light for other eliminator owners and for the 400 overall. How much did you bring the motor up from the previous session? or was it at the same height? Hope you make it down here for one of the N. Florida runs.

Thanks joe! I didn't change the height since it ran 93.5 with the promax. I'm going to take some measurements and look at the jackplate before I decide if I want to go higher. I was happy with 90 though.

[J.P.]

97 that's impressive..and I thought that when you hit 93 looks like money well spent.

[Da Bull]

97.6 is so close to 100. I know you said you were happy with 90 but I would go for 100 and call that my final goal. I believe you can do it.

[HydroSkreamin]

I’m with Da Bull.

Even 99.9 with a single would be even more impressive than your 97.6. That triple digit Holy Grail is calling...
