    Got a new toy to test out eventually...

    It's funny, I would say regardless of trim it felt like it plowed all the time like it wasn't lifting much at all. The rooster was there tucked in or trimmed out but only running flat out... back down a couple MPH and it disappeared. It had more bite but to me it felt like the mirage had the...

    Got a new toy to test out eventually...

    So... This seems pretty cut and dry to me. Observations are the Enertia is easier to spin and bites better... But overall I think I prefer the Mirage. At wide open the Enertia shoots a small rooster tail. I am open to comments.

    Got a new toy to test out eventually...

    So I observed some interesting results while testing both props today. I want to crunch the numbers before going further (I'm still on the water so I just have the raw data). I'll post back tonight.

    Shift cable

    Pre 1976 drives have a different adjustment for the cable if memory serves... 5-7/8" maybe?

    Parking boat in driveway

    Found this out by me too. Had blocked the boat in the street years ago for bottom paint. Code enforcement was there within an hour. Said they got a call from someone (I know who it was). Explained the law and dad and I smiled and said got it. Stays hitched up ever since. I will make it a point...

    ACR with Inverter Question

    Ignoring everything else.... Short answer, you won't hurt the alternator or anything else.

    ACR with Inverter Question

    Chances are the inverter would trip before any serious damage would occur. I don't think voltage would be able to be maintained by the bank once the combine breaks for long enough to cycle more than once or twice before the inverter itself under voltage protects.... That being said if it...

    2000 Glastron 175 engine swap

    I'm thinking 21p may be a little light. I'm also thinking the intake may be a poor match as well. I don't think it'll do 70s But I've been wrong before. Low-mid 60s is possible I think...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    You can go down to 1% on most poly resin and be fine.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Managed to spend a few hours on the water today as well. She's running flawless. Wanted to get some prop testing data but my new prop requires a flat anode it seems.

    Got a new toy to test out eventually...

    Well that was a fail. Enertia hits the high performance anode. Looks like I'll need a flat one in order to test. I did lock down my numbers for the Mirage though so I have a base line to compare to.

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    What are your ambient temperatures? I noticed my resin kicks a lot faster at 80Fthan 75F. At 85F I get 15 minutes of work time at 1% MEKP and 90F+ is very difficult...

    Got a new toy to test out eventually...

    So the new line after the boat restoration is I picked up 200 RPM at wide open with the mirage I like to run. I am seeing 45.5 MPH wide open with me and 37 gallons of fuel kissing the limiter. I want to do some more testing with the mirage to record the numbers and then swap in the enertia and...

    Unrelated, this was our cook out at the plant on labor day. (I've worked every major holiday this year, I'm going to eat good if I'm stuck there).I cooked these on one of those cheap, used to be 10 dollar, disposable grills. And yes, the sausage is homemade. Buffalo chicken.

    I have a resturant supply house membership through the business. I'll get the 40lb cases of leg quarters and break those down. It works out to like $0.40 per pound. Whole split breasts skin on are like $1.50 per pound. It's insanely cost effective and a significantly higher quality than what you...

    For the general Tsos it's about finding a happy balance. It does need it. Am overnight was reccomended to me originally and that was too much. About half an hour is as far as I go now. And I second the thighs the way you mentioned. Cast iron slow cook to temp with nothing other then a pinch of...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Screw bracket design. What kind of power are you going to hang off the back. :LOL:

    Curious, how are old boats disposed of that marinas refuse to haul out?

    Yes, it was a year long process to get to sinking. But once they towed it out it was detonate a couple charges and drive away. Pretty cool to watch, thing sank like a stone.
