Bumping the Limiter

[Ludicrous]

Took the wife on a leisurely cruise down the river this morning. The engine ran great, really couldn't tell if the reed block gave the engine any more hp but it sure did like to hit the limiter (6450). Was running the 28 Performer 3 blade. Check out this video at 44 seconds when it bumped the limiter.

Wife says the boat is too fast (what ever that means...) and it is very cold (chilly 60 degrees), take me back to the ramp!!!

Awsome! I wish my boat hit the delimiter at 85.

thats 13% slip assuming you have a 1.75 gear ratio.

need to get your slip down!

[Ludicrous]

Exactly 13%. The 28 prop is way too small. Gonna sell that one, get a labbed 30 Bravo to run 93-95 mph, then play some more with the 34 Performer. Couldn't get the rpms over 5500 with it but I really didn't give it my all. Need more seat time. This was only my 6th or 7th time out in the boat. Adding two more inches of setback too.

New toy too.

Too Fast? No such thing!!! Too Cold? You Bet! Anything under 75 is too freaking cold!!

My 28' best speed was 60 mph and I thought that was to slow (although all my buddies were white knuckling it).

I would like to see video from another boat running next to you. That would be cool.

Working on much better videos now that I have a HD video camera. Problem is time to do it. Once this hitch is up on the work boat next month, I get home and take a boat to the Keys for a day, then on a week long cruise, then back to another hitch on the work boat. My personal boating time is suffering from all the boating I do.

Ludicrous... always make sure someone is videoing you - while you are videoing yourself.

Were placing bets on how far you'll fly out of the boat at 100mph when it hits a manatee.

JK. Stay safe, we need ya.

Mount the camera up front. That would be cool to watch!
