I was very impressed the way your boat runs when I was along side of you in that rain storm at the romp. Mine just porposied and you ran nice and level. I gotta loose some setback this winter.

I'm going away on Tuesday so may not be on here too much for about a week after that. I'll bring my laptop but have to find a hook up when I can so you may not hear from me to quick. I would say if you mount that as high as it will go on that transom you should be fine and see an immediate improvement. Just keep an eye on your pressure gauge. If pressure is a little low you can close up the top 1/2 of your water pickup inlets on the sides of gearcase, this gives you the ability to go higher.
As far as yours being my old boat. One of my best friends has my old boat. If you have any questions give me a call on my cell 845-641-3322.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys. I did try the 27 trophy today and it brought my rpm's down to 5700. When I got home I raised it almost all the way up so I will try that hopefully this week. I do need some plugs for the prop to block out the holes and by raisinging it I hope to get the rest of the rpm's out of it. The water was very smooth so the hull just would not free up to my liking but it did show 79mph. My friend came over and helped me raise it and he seems to think I will be able to raise it all the way so a few tests will be in order . I'll keepyou posted. Thanks again guys.

Velocity3.6gt- I will confirm your boat runs 74-75 because I have run with you at those speeds. If you have any interest i have 2 items from my new boat that you could really use in yours. I have a 4 inch hydralic jack plate, and I also have a 3 3/8 size 90 mph gaffrig gps speedo that I have to put up for sale. Your boat should run as fast as mine if not faster with the power and gear ratio that you have. Prop, engine height, and setback is where you will find all of your speed. With the hydralic jack plate you can really dial it in, I jack mine till I see 7-8 psi of water pressure and that is when i see my 84 mph. There is a fine line between blowout and optimal speed, if you find that line then your set pretty nice!

He's gonna need low water pickups to get the heights we run. With low water pickups the 4" lift wont be enough if he wants to mount engine with 4 bolts on top. I would want at least 6" of lift if not 8. I have the 6" Stainless Marine Gorilla jack which is a 6" lift but starts out with at 2" lift in the down position so you get a total of 8. That one is a 5" setback which I like on the Velocity. Not too much for rough water handling. I have had 8", 5" & 4". The 8" was too flighty in the rough 4" & 5" both seemed real good to me.

Thanks again guys but I am definately not trying to catch you guys . Your boats freakin run! I would just be happy with 80 or as close to it as I can get. My wife is gonna have a baby within the next couple of weeks so testing is few and far between and money will be a little tight but it is time to dial it in a little. It still is the family boat and gets loaded with camping gear to the point that it really looks like a low rider and won't go over 65 when loaded,also it has to run in rough water thanks to all the boats on Lake George anymore. The bullet part of the lower was way below the bottom the way it ws mounted. now it is about even. I had raised it about an inch and a half and there is roughly only another half inch to go before there is no more adjustment left. Water pressure was in the 15-18 lb range while running and 4-5 at idle. Vnemous nice shot!! Mike let me know what you want for the gps I might be interested. I definatelly need solid base line numbers. Thanks again guys.

Velocity3.6.... I sent you a pm about that gps
If anyone is interested I just posted my velocity up for sale, I am keeping my motor. The new boat is almost back in my hands. It is currently at Robf's shop getting some holes filled before I rig it, so its time to cut the velocity loose..

Mike I will pass on the gps I think I am going to do the hand held type for now. Post the Velocity on here and you will sell it. My guess is tunnel of some sort or something with twins or both...... Guess we'll see soon. Are you sure your not gonna miss the "Pringles boat"? Now we wait.
