Gorge Run Dates!!!!

[Inferno]

Gregg... Let Logan and Tyler take the boat and we'll make sure they don't go over 80 mph.

[tylogans 22]

Ha that's a good one Stan, Keep them under 80. I can visualize you and the rest of the veterans sitting around a campfire and giving them a few pointers if you did this you would be able to do this!!!! Hello 80 goodbye 80!!!! Hope your project is nearing completion!!!!

We can't wait!


Exceptionally cool of MWDC to provide the meat for this event. Not to worry - we'll keep you well hydrated while you're sweating behind the grill.

Appreciate the hydration offer Duckman, and I wil most certainly take you up on it! Perhaps a long distance IV from the Bushwacker machine could accomplish the task. Last year, I retired as an organizer with the MWDC, so this years steaks are courtesy of the Flowerpot Racing Team. Yee haw, gonna be good!

Is anyone else interested in doing some prop testing at the gorge? I am bringing my stash and am always game to try new stuff as I still haven't found "the" prop for my setup.

Here's what I will have:

Mercury Bravo 1 4B 15.5 x 22P
Mercury Vengeance 3B 14.5 x 19P
Turbo 2+2TH 4B 14.0 x 20P

If you've got something collecting dust in the garage I would love to give it a shot... The B1 is for sale for what I've got in it minus depreciation for the 1hr of run time. Let's say $350 and a cold beer. These are $575 from Merc.

So a week from tonight we'll be digesting big ass steaks and loading round three into the bushwhacker machine. The duckhunter crew is FIRED UP!

Barring disasters, looks like I should make Wed afternoon/evening. In a perfect world, maybe somewhere from 3-5 PM arrival. Will be in one of the cabins at the base of A-dock.

Thinking it might be nice to launch her on Wednesday if I make it before 5.

I've been doing some prop testing up here lately. If anyone who is making the trip to Chatt has a Mirage PLUS 23 RH that he is looking to sell, that's what's next on my list to test. I think it's what I need. If it does what I expect it will, I'll be prepared to buy it on the spot with cash.

Maybe we can do a little test & tune on Thurs before everyone else starts rolling in, and maybe Sun as well. If you haven't tried a 22P B1 yet I know a guy that has one! I'm overpacking as usual and will have a timing light w/ tach, GPS, vacuum/fuel pressure gauge, prop wrench, etc in the truck. And the special grease for the bushwhacker machine. And 800 beers.

Drove all day in the wrong direction on the way back to Michigan from Kentucky. Not one of my brighter moves, but the business calls.

I am already partially ready to go. We'll hook up Wednesday, retrace my steps back to Kentucky, pitstop there, and roll Thursday.
Friday can't come soon enough....

I'll try to round up the hub adapters for a 24 inch 4 blade Bravo I you guys can try.

[Inferno]

Duckhunter ..Better yet I'll bring my 498/600hp engine to let you try. It will only take a few hours to set it up and see what speed you can reach . It's sitting in the garage collecting dust, so why not put it in your bowrider !!! Oh how's your outdrive ???

Funny, the 22 pitch labbed Bravo 1 is my favorite prop from all my testing so far. Not the fastest I've tried, but the boat just loves it. I'm using it now for my everyday prop.

Definitely up for running early Thursday. I was even pondering a Wed evening cruise...
