AFTER SHATTERING MY ANKLE LAST MEMORIAL DAY ON MY MODDED 01 AND SPENDING ALL SUMMER ON CRUTCHES AND GOING TO RE-HAB,IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK!
I WAS A BIT CAUTIOUS, BUT MADE A NICE OCEAN RUN TO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WITH MY BUDDY JOHN PAZZO AND IT FELT GREAT. YOU CANNOT GO SLOW ON A GPR!!
AFTER CLEARING OUT THE WINTER GAS AND FOGGING OIL WTH 2 BARS I COULD MAKE CONSISANT 69.5 PASSES AT 7040 ON THE GPS.I COULD NOT GET THE BOAT TO SETTLE DOWN ON THE FLAT WATER PASSES(A SLIGHT PORPOISE AT SPEED) BUT IT PULLED RELENTLESSLY IN THE OCEAN CHOP.KILLER OCEAN BOAT!
ERIC FROM SPEEDFREEKS WAS OUT TESTING A NEW TRIPLE PIPE SET UP SO I LET HIM MAKE A FEW PASSES ON MY BOAT AND HE AUTOMATICALLY CLICKED OFF 70.8,71.2, WITH A BEST OFF 71.7 AT 7080.
I SIT STRAIGHT UP IN THE SEAT WHILE ERIC DOES A VARIATION OF THE SUPERMAN THING.HE ALSO HAS ME BY 70 POUNDS. YES, BODY POSITION AND RIDER INPUT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
MY SET-UP IS THE USUAL: PPK,PRINTED PUMP,R@D MOD PLATE,GRATE,TABS,NOZZLE,11.5/18 SPEEDCUT 14/20,ERICS MILLED HEAD,CARBS RE-JETTED,PROKS,STUFFERS,R@D VALVES ,STOCK IGNITION.
