Outstanding!!! What's causing that tall rooster tail at WOT?

Cheers,
Craig


Not sure Craig, the only thing hanging down on that side is the depth finder transducer, but that is deep enough in the water, so I dont know. I was by my self, so couldnt really check it out. Not sure if its happening on the other side, since the swim step would be blocking the tail. Dont think it is though.

Sweet! Cor! Congratulations! That is a really good feeling! Nothing like the sound of a TOP......I can almost smell the two stroke oil! How fast did she run?

Thanks All, couldn't have done it with out all of your help.

Arch, the speedo said a little over 45 and I didnt mess with GPS. Its a small lake and I couldn't really let her go and stretch her legs. So I dont really know the top speed.

Wow Cor, very cool, I may have to hire you to make another one!

Look what I found when rummaging around for electrical parts while working on a little refit of Miss Morgan today.



Sorry knew I would find it later....never fails!
