Big news !!! Getting my first 450r next week!

[WILDMAN]

The 450 will be at my dealer Tuesday. I'll get it when I get back from out of town on the 9th. I'll finish the paint on the 22 next week. I also have 7 300R's coming next week. Gonna be an expensive week! 450's take 89 octane gas. I don't believe anyone or even Mercury has put a single 450 on a boat yet. Maybe they want me to be the first to die!

I am stilll wating on my Merc wareettee...My 135 has leaking round the plugs,,,,,,Dm l6

Now you'll need a 6 blade 16" cleaver...

[FUJIMO]

I ordered a 38" x 15.25" five blade Hill cleaver for it. With the 1.60 case at 6400, it comes out to 143 mph before slip. That prop on a 21-22 Liberator only sees 4% slip, so I'm guess 130 is attainable. The 300R has run 113-114 on a 21. I ran 129 in my twin flamed 21 Liberator and it felt like it was on rails so 130 should not have any handling issues.

...Time for a bigger lake. You know, like Mercury had to. lol

A couple of single engine, V bottom boat manufacturers in Europe have taken delivery of them as well. Should be fun to watch.
