Haha, yes but the Noobie of the year award is a traveling tribute to the trials and tribulations of those willing to venture out with nothing but faith in the experiences of others and the hope that they will step up and confess their darkest secrets(mistakes)..

You won't hold on to it for long so enjoy.

Now 2 comments, if you ever get your hands on a 540 please throw it on. Second,what thrill it will be to foot behind such a responsive boat. Nothing like a quick throttle burst to get you to 40+ in the blink of an eye. enjoy

I agree with Alan on all accounts, I only add that in hindsite reading the post the fact that the original OJ had been reworked should have been a giveaway that it was not quite right. A good legend 13x13 should not have been that far off. Thats a strong running 2001.

It's always interesting to get the results for this comparations, It's pretty impressive how efficient this ACMEs are.

My 542 also performs 1-1 between 2600-3500rpms, it seems the prop likes that running angle/altittude to work best.

I also believe the 540 is the ticket for you.

I agree Al, having a whole fist full of throttle left after getting to and maintaining 41mph (my preferred bf speed) was one of my goals. Wasn't sure if I'd get there with just heads and a manifold.

I'll keep my eyes open for a 540, but I'd rather have a new boom first.

I've had Delta propeller refinish both props but it was mostly just cleaning up the edges. Is there a better place to send props?
