You guys need to come to Green Lake this summer, Pete's live Shows are way better and you don't need a fistful of singles to get his attention

Not when you use the boat as intended and designed.

Hollywood, These boats were named after muscle cars and came with High Performance warning stickers. I'd say they're being used as intended! No different than dropping a Hemi in a Dodge Dart or suping up a Buick engine in a Skylark, (if souping up a Buick could have even been done).

Just don't give any children a ride in your over powered 16' boats.

Peter, Hollywood's alright. He'd just rather go fast hanging off the back with no skis on.

I used to have a 49 Ford F1 with a 300 hp 327 and used to push it well beyond its intended limit. Never a problem as long as I didn't have to brake or turn.

Maybe they could get a sign like the one you have on your boat

Kind of to Hollywood's point

Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this.

Doctor: Well, stop doing that.

Man-Ga,
I am in LaGrange. At White Lake Mini on the 30th April, I learned tghat you deffinately don"t want any slop. My shaft came out at about 40+ and the resulting jerk to the left and extremely quick atop, I went over the side. Luckily, boats can be fixed. My bruises and charlie horse will take time. Where near you is there someone qualified to replace shafts and/or do shaft alignments?

Jackie,
From your first post about the problem:

Jackie,
I'd say you have some stringer problems causing a misalignement. When the boat's been run that way for awhile, the coupling and prop shaft frets. This loosens the shrink/press fit and the shaft walks out of the coupling.

When Joe took a look, did he spot any visual indications of stringer problems?

Yes, the ARE dual taper is a "user friendly" system.

You've had the boat since it was new and since you say you'r not the best mechanic, I assume you have somone work on it for you. When was the last time a alignment was done? Was anything said about the stringers at that time?
