I feel like it's bad mojo to talk about drives breaking.. I already have a 5 blade P5X. I'm tightening up the clearances on the xr gears and taking it super easy until I get an scx upper.
Dean, are you sure that (Imco SCX) wasn't a belated Christmas present from last Christmas? That's what my angle would be. I'll probably see you on the water but probably for a split second...Same here, David. Good seeing you again and meeting the infamous Beermaker. Glad they got that fire out!
Taking the engine out tomorrow and getting it ready for the new and improved. Have an Imco SCX coming as an early Christmas present too.
Hopefully have it ready in....two weeks.
I'm still trying to figure out if the whipple will fit under the hatch so I can just fix the hole and re-cover it while the engine is getting installed. Or it could be another...two weeks after that! I may be bumming rides and wiping boats for a month or so.
Whatever will work! I'm using every angle I can. Should be a nice cruiser when it's done.
It's a peel and stick. I'm installing it over non skid. It's a good idea to stick it down just past the non skid edge so you get a good seal. Or maybe use some sylicone on the edge to prevent water getting under.
Just put this in my Nordic deck over 4th of July weekend. I went through the test fit stage with mine to ensure pattern was spot on, the teak lines add a whole other dimension of exactness.
Nice. I'm definitely happy with the outcome. I like it a lot more than carpet.
Had my real first test last week with several people on board and my dog. Lol, she peed on it twice on the ride back down from pirates. Poured a little water over it.
Deano,
It has an ITS gimble. The boat will literally jump on a plane if I want it to then the prop breaks free at about 30mph. My mid range
is about 4k=60mph. I'm no expert, but that seems like a pretty high slip number so I'm going to try a Maximus 34P to get more bite.
I've had it over 80 on only three occasions and it was short so It's hard for me to comment on the stability.
GT has the boat now and I'll run it on elsinore some more when I get it back. I'll also calibrate that speedo for jstnoc.
Make sense the added leverage from the ITS allows the shorter lower to help your top speed. Let us know what happens when you test at Elsinore. My boat is also at Gt having some gel work done.

I haven't had much time on it, but I like it so far. It has some cushion on your feet and seems to be pretty tuff.
