Well I ran the 1500 today with my new from the shop 28 cleaver.

75.5 mph is my new top speed. Funny thing is , the boat still had more in it. I did not have it pinned at WOT. I think there was around 2-300 more RPM left in it but I was kinda chicken in the 32 degree water we have here right now.

I believe the correct Iowa expression would be "colder than a well digger's.........rearend."

Congrats Conrad, awesome dedication to "the need for speed" my friend!

Ladies and Gentlemen, THE KING.

I have a hunch you may want to glance over your shoulder every now and then, Michael (MadProps) WILL be in hot pursuit.

Seriously, nicely done. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

When running you just sit there and wait for something bad to happen. thank god nothing has .... here is a craptacular video of today. Nothing fast on this vid. Probably 65 ish most of the time.

Conrad,
Your videos are always so cool.
I LOVE hearing the snarl of the inline-6 & it sounds like that prop hooks up very nicely.
It will be interesting to see & hear the comparisons when MadProps gets his lil racer race ready!
If the 1350 doesn't do it Michael,...I do have 'more than a few' shorty 1500s on the rack.
