No, they were factory satin finish before. I've been on the Chain most my life, I'm a master mud puddle navigator.

Right. I've only been on it once. I might have to drive down fur a Thursday night races.
I like the house with the slide down it.

I'll just drive down and leave the boat at home. I have a few crownline friends there as well.

Thanks I'll see what I can do. That's all at Blarney's right.

[akorcovelos]

Yes sir, but we don't usually go to the island, we anchor right along the race course and watch from the boat.

Well I got my ecu back and sad to say it doesnt look any diff then when I sent it to them. Lol
It's hard to justify something you can't see.

60* and the lakes should be opened next week!

Reworked props and drive shower is done. Put the oldest to work cleaning the drive before I put the shower on it.

Batteries are charging, and I’m going to look at the trim switch today yet. Sunday I’ll be tackling the steering cable and new wheel. Technically that’s it to get her wet, but there’s other stuff I’ll be picking away at when it’s on the trailer.

Looking good! Props are clocked and ready to show you 60+. Great time of year to test as you know DA is low).
We’ll be standing by!

I know, hoping to get on the water next weekend. Lakes are no wake now due to flooding, but forecast looks good for the next 10 days. I have 1/4 tank of regular to burn before I can swap the new ECU in, so I'll get a good comparison of performance with the new props, then performance with the new props and tune.

[akorcovelos]

First day back on the water. Conditions were nearly identical to last year and I’m stoked to report just the prop work got me 2 mph! I ran the last of the regular fuel out of her, so next is swapping in the Whipple ECU and putting half a tank of premium in. At 59mph I have to believe I can hit 62mph with the tune. We shall
See!
