Thats true, I just had to rub it in. Although I put a lot of space between us out of the hole, he finally did catch me by the time we were out of the bay. Not bad for a 20' boat full of people though, so Im happy. In a few years maybe Ill run with you guys on the top end- Ill need to bring a smaller boat to the party. |

So Tim, does that statement mean you'll be getting a new boat and/or engine as well? I was really looking forward to a year off from the engine upgrade projects. Oh, I forgot, my boat was already that fast, so I'll make some time. And Stang you are correct! Brian's 72 Fuelie was strong and I'm confident that the 52 MPH it was reading with 3 guys in the boat was most accurate. |

I think a 16' CC would be a nice addition to the fleet. The plan is to fix up the Tique and go from there- not sure if Ill keep it or trade it for a Mustang or Skier. It may be a few years before I have one worthy of lining up with your blue rocketship though! Brian's '72 did run very strong. That was a fun ride- it just kept on pulling. That 318 was pretty impressive. |

Yep Tim already has that Tique in his back pocket, I still think that is potentially a very fast hull and Tim isnt afraid of research, time, and money...

considering the motor hasn't been touched in two years, winterized twice, the plugs have been fogged heavily 5 times (winter and spring) the last two years and the timing was off and it would ping a little on the top end, didn't have the 13x14 prop and had the 470 bolted on, I did all right, might have beat me out of the hole but didn't see anyone other than Reid pull away on the top end.
Oh well |

79...it says go slow, but not when you are racing!! Tim, I wish we could have line them up, I think that would have been a close one, I should not have messed with my prop!

at least you broke even or made a buck maybe. You bought it right to start with at 50% of what I paid for my ACME at dealer cost.

Nice pic! Since you ran even with Chris on the top end, Im sure youre faster than me, as he had me by 1-2 MPH. I probably would have taken you out of the hole- I even held off Reid up to about 25-30. Of course once he planed he took off like I was standing still. I was pretty happy with the way my bigger boat ran- I think the only guys faster than me out of the hole would be Joe and the Dr with their strokers. Maybe Ill pick up some top end once I figure out what prop works best. I just cant run with the lighter boats that run nose high- I probably never will, at least in the '90. |

tim that's why I stayed out of the race between reid and boat doc, half the boat close to the same HP. The math just didn't work in my favor.
