I'll have my gearcase back this week and I'll let you guys know how it runs when I do the run with everyone next week, But I must say I do love the bob's hydraulic jackplate.

**venus79** · 01-21-2009, 09:09 PM

hydraulic jackplate is in the near future for mine

Venus, I'd like to know how fast ur going. I will admit that I don't know a hole lot about setn up a boat, but something doesn't add up to me. It sounds like to me u got a lot of slippage or that boat is featherlight to have a 150 turning 7000rpm with a 26 pitch. But I've been wrong before.

**venus79** · 01-21-2009, 09:32 PM

its light. no core and i have pressure treated plywood over the center sponson for the floor.

**king gill** · 01-21-2009, 09:33 PM

Ya Venus how light is that copy?And ...oh yea to the power jackplate

**venus79** · 01-21-2009, 09:37 PM

not sure never wieghed it but its definetly light. would almost bet its lighter then my vector.

**venus79** · 01-21-2009, 09:39 PM

I have a 28" big ear chopper if you're intersted, dont know what its worth. I cant use it cause it puts my motor against the rev limiter

**venus79** · 01-22-2009, 03:01 AM

He's running low to mid 80's which is not shabby for 150 hp.
