Miss Vegas - 35 MPH
I ran a GPS system on the boat today. I'm running Wildcat fuel 35%/18% fuel, gravedigger turn fin, sharpened and balanced Y535 (I think I've got the right number for the prop). Strut is up to what I believe Jerry D recommended. I hav not pulled a shim out of the head.
Curious as to the speeds others have attained and suggestions above and beyone what I've done so far.
Thanks
jim

As I'd read and heard the other guys are running O.S CV-RM.18 blackhead and there getting about 40-42 mhp But also there guys are running .21's to in the Miss Vegas. With my truck motor I'd pull my head shim out after 5 tanks.Jerry told my girl friend to take the head shim out after 6 tank runs on her aquacraft.18 miss vegas motor.

RE: Miss Vegas - 35 MPH
If that is with the stock engine/pipe/hull with wings, it is pretty good. Best I got on my boat was 33.1 with a GPS. Norm up in OK city got 33.5 MPH. I had nothing cut, sanded, or sharpened on mine. Norm has his rudder cut/sharpened, but I don't think he sharpened his turn fin or sanded his hull.
