Thanks, everyone!! I got to drive this bad boy several times this summer. With Scott's motor it gps'ed at 92 with 2 adults, full of fuel, and with the bimini top up. :smile16: :smile28:

Do you know what rpm you were turning at 92mph Duane? And what impeller was in it?

 

[duanehydro]

:laugh: I only glanced at gps speedo....I don't really watch guages. It's an AB cut aggresor, pump set by Ervin Capps.

That's around the mph mine runs and I was trying to compare my impeller to something because it been cut so weird  I don't know what it is lol

thats at +/- 5800. slight cut to older aggressor bronze "a". The boat is a bit slower with a snoot but it is more stable at speeds, turns better and stays hooked in the rough. The droop is good for another 4 mph but was "flightly".

with the kids and wife, i stuck w snoot.

Duane, glad your happy and btw adding a blower motor would be like yesteryears technology. Think LS with twin inline turbos or think retired pro stock with pumg gas slugs and re-cam. I always thought a 10-1 706 buck would get the job done nicely.

carry on. im out.

All that grass making its way down there?  Trey and I went to Altair Friday evening and it was breaking loose and heading your way.  It way pretty bad!  Chunks of lillies half the size of boats everywhere.

Congrats on the quick sale Duane! Glad you already have a replacement in mind.

P.S. get ahold of Billy sometime when you have the chance. Got a little something cooking up your way for spring 2014. He'll fill you in on the rest.
