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...

Might be my infantile computer skills, but I can't get the movies to
download.....

I'll be heading down to Boat Works someday this week - you want to use
my spare handheld?

Or my skills. These files are huge, 20-30 mb and I don't have the
software to knock them down. They are quick time files.

You "fixed" that prop?

Are you insane?


So I've been told.


Oh - wait a minute - never mind. :)

I have a prop here with a busted blade - cost you $35 to fix it.


Mine is the through the prop exhaust, but if it fits. Where do you get
props repaired anyway??
You want it?

Your boat really moves along with that 25hp.
What model year did you say the motor is?
