We put the shortblock together today, I dropped a roller lifter like a clutz and
cracked it so I am ordering new ones tommorow. Probably get the long block done by next weekend and blower on following weekend.
Best I have seen so far with the HP500 is 69.8 without playing with props
(stock 26p powertech 4 blade) and a lot of slip. With the 5blade and the blower I
am hoping to break 80mph which would be a lot for this old heavy resin bucket.
Sure rides nice though...
Probably be end of febuary before weather,time and money allow me to get back in water.
Looks like I may go Sunday Frank. Brandon totally bailed and Jennifer has stuff going on both days. My parts show tomorrow to finish a couple of small things for the boat and it will be ready. I will give you a buzz when I head that way.
