I will be in campsite 12 and 13 Looking to test this new to me Blown Engine .. Hope it works .. Cant wait to see everyone ..

Welcome aboard Whaler , My laptop sucks and I dont use my phone for this site .. I will be in campsite 12 and 13 , Come by and introduce yourself. .. I will have my boat in my profile there , Cole TR4 Runner bottom V Drive .. I run OT headers also .. You wont be the loudest one there .. HaHa ..

Whitney is down 6.20 feet right now .. That is not bad for Plowman.. Hoping with the rains it will be full come April 28th ..

I cant wait .. Cabin fever has set in . I need some boat therapy

Might have you watch my runs and have you see how the boat attitude is in the water .. Maybe it will air our more and that dam rooster tail will go down some.. I will GPS the runs and calculate the prop slip one I get a couple runs down .. I need some help..

New Menkens /Dallas prop 11 1/8 x 16 , cut to help me get more lift on the boat and also to try and keep my RPM up ..It does have a little different ear shape than the one he made me before . Sure wish it would stay this pretty .. Hoping the boat will run dryer and my prop slip come down ..

I got me a new prop heading my way .. Dallas / Menkins built it for me .. Hoping to get the boat to air out more with this 511 engine .. Dam props are getting expensive . $810.00 plus shipping .. Sure hope it works better than my old prop.. He will cut and adjust on it once I make a few test...

So it been a while for an update .. I bought a 511 engine used 2 years ago .. It ran pretty good . Best MPH was 96 .. I pulled the heads off and went through them and they needed it .. Found out this engine is only a 10.8 to 1 and not a 13 to 1 compression .. So now I will tune it for this...

Dam Kenney you are just knocking us out with the V Drives .. Hell I will just float mine to prove you wrong .. HaHa

That sucks getting shut down ..

I will be in site #12 this year .. Hope we have good weather and a good turn out .. I drove into the park last Saturday and it looked good .. Water is down 7 foot right now .. That is still OK for Plowman Park area .. Cant wait to see everyone ..

Patch , she was only running 96 mph. With 22% slip. Way too much slip.. So with heads fixed and hoping Dallas can get me a new prop and tweak on my old prop, she should get aired out more and hit that 100 mark easier .. I might add a little race fuel to get the octane about 95 or 96.

Awesome , cant wait to see you guys

I finally got my heads back on the boat and got it fired up. Heads needed some work.. So maybe it will run better . New Valve Covers for the 511 Chevy this year .. I found that my engine is not a 13to1 compression .. If I did all the calculation right , it should be 10.8 to 1 .. That may be why...

I should be there

This post is from Neil Westerland on Facebook .  I copied it from there .. Neil WesterlundFebruary 8 at 8:39 AM Ok. It is time to drag the boats out the fields, garages, shine em up, put a tune in em and get the kids involved and family and be ready for a new year. We would like to start off...

Just wanted to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS .. I work today and get off Tuesday and Wednesday .. So Merry Christmas in advance .. I hope Santa bring you what you want for Christmas .. I sent Santa  a note and asked for a 632 Blown Chevy to go in the boat  bling.gif bling.gif :smile17:
