So those Borla muffler/collectors work pretty good?

Oh my God I'm were are so stoked for you Grandpa You did good ! Looks graet sounds good Ride looks absolutly bitchen !! Congratulations Bro ! 

    Thanks Grumpy.   Yah, I can't wait to lean on it once I get more comfortable with it.  From the vid it looked like it was riding pretty dry huh?  May not have to run a droop???

Damn John that looks and sounds really good. Regret not being able to find the time when I was up that way last June to come by and see it 

Congrats!

Nice work. Sounds great. What impeller are you running. I know you posted it somewhere but it would take me forever to find the post. Once again. Nice Job.

That is RADICAL John, good work! Looks like the Boy's boat is already taking shape and looking good! Wondering about the UFO II thing though, does that mean that UFO I was identified? 

Look forward to seeing you make a run down south. I think Crewcheif is still trying to set sumpin up in October for a big gathering.

To Droop or not to Droop?   that is always the question...  I think it would look sooooo sweet with a rooster tale!

   Yah, that will prolly be something I pick up over the winter.  Still getting use to it at the moment.

Here's a cool shot somebody took when I was taking Brian for a ride on the Columbia River.  He just blew up his blown 468 and is in need of a new motor.  Thought I'd give him a ride in mine so he can see what mine is like.  I stepped on it from a 2500 cruise and it hauls ass.  Great fun but too many rollers and bumps there to stay in it.  I did see a 3 lbs of boost at 5500.  Will probably need to swap some pulleys real soon once I get use to it.

now if I can get time to work on getting mine wet this year

I know that feeling!!! 

Grandkids are the best.........

Hey Tommy, my grandkids are cuter than yours..................

The future looks brite if these kids get the drive you guys have. 

I think they already have that, from the pictures, not afraid of the boats!

Lord help us old farts 'cuz those toddlers are gonna kick our A$$es in the very near future, 

Ray

And they're all 3 adorable, you guys need your bifocals on! 

Yah, grandkids are great as Tommy can confirm....... as far as bifocals....hell, I'm thinking I need trifocals.....

Okay, I'm a bit frustrated.  Seemed like over the weekend I couldnt keep the damn thing in the water long enough to keep it loaded.  As a recap, this is a Energized Panther with a SS AA impeller. No droop and the ride plate set at 2.4 degrees.

Any ideas of where I might be able to start???

John is this a "hopping" or "porpoising issue" some thing new since last year?

Here's a short video. 6 seconds into it you can see that damn pump intake.  Unfortunately, when I was making the bulk of my passes, nobody was filming but we do have this one.

It seems to be brandnew. Didnt seem to have it earlier in the summer and I'm sure much is due to the rollers that we all were dealing with BUT, everyone else seemed to be able to work thru it but me.  This was in the second notch from the top on the diverter. I also tried it on the third notch but that clearly was dragging the nose more.
