Ryan.................i am gearing it down, i stated that i was going to run a 2.33 : 1 reduction. Also, i want some decent speed, but im not lookin' for 55 mph...................id be happy with 40. I am
always toying with different ideas (i have eight boats, not including the Brand new Cen aquajet i won on e-bay last week for $41 and havent received yet), and this idea is with a proven hull, with
every single bit of un-needed weight taken out, it will probably weigh less than half of the original weight with the stock setup. Notice i havent mentioned the Hull, you and most others are VERY familiar with it, as soon as its up and tweaked right, i'll post the boat and pics and such.
BTW, thanks for your input.
