Default Cheap thrills;)

Well, I finally got that 25 setup and running on the Brockway. I
"repaired" the prop to get rid of some of the flat spots and tried to
even out the three blades Seems to have made a difference, I wonder
what a decent blade would do. Anyway, here are some test runs on a
small lake in CT.

These are big movies, but they run ok.
First two are of tests of different trim settings, the third is a
quick one to prove that I indeed do occassionally "set the hook".

I still got to get a handheld or borrow another one to see how fast I
actually am going, And yes, it does make a difference to me

Again a reminder for anyone who is not familiar with my $400 hull,
here are some still shots:

Very little gas, lots of room, I am starting to like this little
skiff... to bad it's so late in the season. Anyway, not bad when you
consider I probably have less than 2 grand into the whole boat.

later, ate that bass, now I need some sleep...
