Well after a long day at the pond. Everything went well. The engines are not 100% synced but close enough for some shakedown runs. This boat is never been at the water and did not have no major issues.
The boat did spin a shaft and I lost a 1662 prop. After my GF went home and got all my shaft and brought us some tasty donuts we where at it again.
Breaking in the engines and running them alittle hard for some laps to build heat. The 1st video you see on rauls post I was using the 1460 props. Boat ran great with some good speed turns on rails.
After a few runs the 2nd video I changed to 2215 game changers and the rpm's did pick up as well as Mph. note the boat is very sensitive to turns and with these props as you see I almost hit a bouy a few times because of my steering input. But it turns very extremely well.
Then we switched to the 2317 game changer on the video final run of the day and it performed even better more rpm's and better speed. It turns crazy fast and speeds up on the turns and it's more sensitive to steering inputs.
Over all testing was a complete success and great shakedown runs.
So the difference between the octura props and the new ABC game changers is unbelievable. Definitely will never run a octura prop on this boat. It needs more pitch to load the engines more the boat ran out of prop by the middle of the backstrech but accelerated on the turns.
Thanks to Ralph Almirola for building as always a extremely fast roadrunner boats, Raul for taking videos, David Wilfong for the complete rigging of the boat, Ed Cordero for bringing the retrieve boat and Mark Sholund (PROPS4U)for working overtime to send me 5 sets of props for this twin.
Charles Perdue for the new zoom carbs as always they work perfect for any application.
