PM-II Sea Trials...
The PM-II went out last night for some quick trials. I still need to fix the
cooler and I'm waiting for the non-OMC special tach to come in via Faria (who made all the guages in the boat). At first I was dissapointed that it only went 38mph.. then I realized I was still trimmed all the way down. It made 45 with my 17p SS and I quit there as I had no tach and it had to be pushing 6k. The JVC speakers rock - I can actually hear "Smoke on the Water" at WOT. For those that don't know I have a CD burned that has the Gilligan theme and Smoke on the Water on it. Gilligan handles the now wake zone by the ramp - by the time it gets to Smoke on the Water it's time to throttle up. I wish I'd dubbed in the clip from Challengers last words about "go with throttle up" in between them for some effect. For the moments it was at 45 I think I detected some chine-walking - I'll wait on the tach to check that out furhter. Instict tells me I'm gonna need a 19p SS on this one for cruising and the 17 for pulling. As opposed to the 17 and 15 used on the PM-1. So far I'm happy - I need to adjust the trailer bunks a bit etc etc.... No more time to fool with it - I lost a week on it all told and have 3 paid jobs backing up. (sigh) -W My big old Merc started like it was run the day before and did well in it's now home.

FWIW, being tired gets an Automatic Pass, but never, EVER admit to being too old! ) Good luck with the new hull. noah |
