Bottle feed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That will get you a few extra. Call up Chuck Goodman at Nitrox, he can fix U right up. Get you that few extra MPH you are looking for.

Good lookin' boat!
What's your current setup? Wildman seems to be making the check's run pretty fast right now....
By looking at the picture it would not surprise me if a little setback wouldn't help you carry more boat.
I'm running about 16-17" of setback if I remember correctly. Looks like you have very little.
Where is your prop in relation to the pad?
What speeds have you hit?Last edited by Pro300x24LD; 06-20-2008 at 09:17 AM.

I THINK THIS IS THE LAST STONE TO TURN WITHOUT BIG$$$$$
MOTOR MODS......OR NITROX WHICH = BIG$$$$$$ REBUILDS ON BLOWN POWERHEADS.
SVS, TIGHT HEADS, TUNER, SETBACK INCREASE, ???????
FRESH TOP END, KEEP TRYING PROPS TILL YOU FIND ONE, IT'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE
