Had kitty out and learning to drive her, had 77.4 with med load at 5800. She was still picking up speed but the river got a little short, the sho likes it. Think she has 5 or 6 mph more to give, maybe when I am a better driver.

Brac, Killer Colors, It looks like Silver, Starlight blue, with Fire or Red/Black pins, if so I did a Cougar FTD with a 250 HO in 08 for my boss, but a dark grey bottom. Those colors are gourgeous on the water, and get lots of looks and attention out in public. That New S.H.O. is really putting down the #s, thats Terrific, it will make my favorite brand Evinrude improve the ETEC, Mercury improve the Optimax or its replacement, So hows the Freight Train Torque workin out for you? Does your neck hurt? Are you runnin a 27p? I think if a guy can play with his jack plate settings, get used to driving in a straight line with that Beautifully enginered Yamahammer Bullet lower unit, and have some tall props to play with 85 should be able to be had, Doug McGee had his 2 stroke powered 09 to 84 and change I believe, thats a cool feature of this forum, you guys can post #s and get feed back from other owners on setups,propping, and boat control, its a nice standard feature on BCBs that should be talked about more. Post some Sunlight pics if you can……Brannon Your Signature …

The SHO really puts the torque to the 27 prop, it takes some getting us to. But the water was like glass, with a little chop I think the #s whould have been faster. Jigging that was from Freds back to Bayou Manchac on the Amite. By the way the rooster tail was about a foot higher than the motor, may need to drop jack plate to get more speed?
