That's cool. Glad that's all it was. Do you have the impeller part number or the kit you used?
Liquid - point well taken. I need to burn this had up so I'm going to run it a bit. It cruises 40-45 very nice though. We will have to talk MattzKatz to step up to the bb plate.lol he was faster than my old boat so I had to step up this year.
Thanks.

I'm faster than your current boat too!

[Big Block Power]

Yes when it's on the trailer behind your truck that just going over 55mph.

Well she ran 56.59 today 4400rpms .so that is past the half way mark so call it 57 lol. I'll need every mph to keep Matt of my back.
I think I might try some hill Marine 4 blade props to get some more punch to her. I was hoping for over 60 when I bought this boat. So we will see. I'll push it when I'm by myself to see what she will do. I have a few spare hundred rpms to get. 4600 is redline. If I can't get speed I'll get punch. It had real old gas so I added some fuel additive and burned up almost the last half of tank of gas. Good for top off now.Ran to get lunch on the other side of the lake. 17 miles one way.

Well I had 1/3 tank of gas 3 adults one kid and to my surprise and this is the first boat I've owned up to 50 the Speedo is dead on. At 55 I was running 57 gps. It was reading lower nut higher, kind of odd. Kind of disappointed. 4400 rpms so 200 more to go. I'll play with it when I'm by myself. I'm watching for a set of hill Marine props for it. Or I'll be watching for the gxi or mag in a boat. I really expected mid 60's

Jesus where you going in such a hurry? 60+ yikes!

If i get above 25 with the kids the youngest starts screaming tooooooo fast!

5 -10 is my favorite speed with the pilot seat kicked to the side and the feet in the wife's lap... can hear the music better that way anyway.

My brother just moved up this way from Jersey so I'm certain I'll figure out what WOT will do. Light boat that's got correct power for it's size... now to fix that prop situation... pics on the other string.

Lots of big boats to chase down. We don't go slow too often. Cruise 35-45 most of the time. Kids are all used to going fast Heck our soon to be 18 year old daughter last time out goes catch them. My wife hates loud music so the stereo isn't on very loud most of the time anyways. We have lots of water to cover.

I know some people always carry a few tools and an extra impeller in their boat, but I think it makes more sense to change it every 2-3 years than to count on changing it on the water once it fails. Not to say that I wouldn't still carry a spare on the boat...

[Big Block Power]

Very true Volvo or merc guys carry spares. I carried a spare iac motor.I'll break down and change it soon.

Congratulations on the new boat! This is a great boat, I grew up on one, my father still owns it. Think is pristine other than a few reasonable wear and tear marks. What color? His is red strip with red bimini. Fast no doubt. He has the smaller 320 so he's topping 55-56 currently.

For naming I've always been one with quirky humor. My parents named theirs M-T Pockets since the boat emptied them out pretty good.
I dig the clifford the big red boat name.
