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". http://yaimkool.com/images/getoverit/1.MOV http://yaimkool.com/images/getoverit/2.MOV http://yaimkool.com/images/getoverit/3.MOV 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: http://www.yaimkool.com 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... |

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? |

Anyway, here are some test runs on a small lake in CT. I think it would run like a scared rabbit, at this load, with a taller prop. It's just loafing along on that one, but runs really great. Someone on that lake has a taller prop on a nail in their garage. The replaced it with one of those stainless beasts that will get stolen, sooner or later. Look in their garage for the painted one...(c; Larry -- You can tell there's extremely intelligent life in the universe because they have never called Earth.

Just a bit slow loading...especially the first one. Hi Don! I responded to your accusations yesterday and even asked you a few questions. Did you miss that one? I believe this was it: ************************************************** ******** The 'advice' was worth what he paid for it. How's the boat, the mom, the son, and the wife? When my daughter dropped out of college and decided to make a nest in my house, I started charging her $200 a month rent. For some reason she found this hard to abide. So she moved into an apartment with several other girls. That lasted about six months, and she then decided to return to college. That entitled her to move back into the house. She then became a nurse. Just a thought, for what it's worth. So now you've lowered yourself to the Dingy Dan level. Now it's not just my mom...it's my wife & son too! Funny thing...you don't expect ant better from Dan, but you tried to pass yourself off as a 'law & order' man. I guess that old saying...'it all comes out in the wash' does make sense here. Did I say something offensive, or are you just looking for a made up excuse to be rancorous? How would we know anything about your wife, your mom, or your son if you hadn't told us? I passed along a tip that worked with my daughter. I don't believe I said anything at all about your son or your wife. ************************************************** *********************** I would think that after that accusation and the 'rancorous' post of yours, you would have responded. |
