    Nice Skater. Dont see too many cats running around the rivers here. Saw a few different boats around this weekend for the Fox Chapel Run. Only regular cat is a blue and white HTM 24.

    So what kinds of speeds are you hitting with the new settup?? Any pics? I thought about modifying my engine while it was getting tuned up this year, but Im just gonna hang onto the money towards a bigger faster boat.

    I really don't about top speed yet, I am still breaking it in I only have 3 hours on the motor. It does pull really hard low and midrange, it is unbeliveble, it just sucks you back in the seat. I know I can just slip the prop with ease from about 3500 up and it is a bravo 1 labbed 4-blade. I will do more testing and post results let me figure out how to resize my pictures and I will post

    The HTM docks up in my pool on the allegheny along with several other go-fast boats.

    She will run with 80 gal of gas 5 people 71mph on gps turning a labbed bravo1 24 pitch 4 blade. It turns 5350rpm WOT. I think that is pretty good for a heavy boat.

    Looks nice. I dont plan on tearing my current motor apart unless I have to. But, will on the next boat if I need to get more out of it.
