Something nice! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

Yeah, I guess with a name like Bobaloo there should be no others. RRL is usually my home forum even tho I dont post too much. I think I have 250 posts since dec on RRL and 200 on HB in 4 or 5 years.
I have a job with no computer access and only got dsl 4 months ago.

I met Kev,Beer Hunter,T&B,Music,and the always smiling Scotty and ALOT of others on I dont remember (was drunk) in june at OP6C.

You met me? That's funny...I don't remember meeting you. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Hey Kev, I tried a 22 pitch B-1 4 blade and all it did for me was raise my rpm and slow me down. I think with all the crap I keep in the back of the boat that I cant plane any slower than 26 mph. The old jet I would bury the tabs and diverter and we would wakeboard all day, ok for a couple hours till our legs and arms fell off. Have you had anyone board slower than planing speed,and how bad was the bowrise/vision?

[kevnmcd]

Bob - I can keep it on plane pulling a wakeboarder at 16-19 mph (gps). The problem that I have is that my throttle is the Gaffrig "click" kind so it is hard to keep it at that speed. I have to constantly move the throttle up 1 click and down 1 click to keep it at that speed and not fall off plane.

I have a lot of stuff in the back as well....2 tubs of stuff (tools and cleaning stuff) and a tube. Then all my stereo stuff is in my walk-through (3 amps, 2 - 12" subs boxed in, ice chest, wet suits, life jackets, anchors, fenders, etc.)

What seems to be your problem?

I was there with all those guys. Met you and Angie.
I don't remember anybody being drunk though http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Never tried it yet but am taking the boards on this trip so we will see. I think I usually have all that stuff and a bunch of people in my boat so it takes a while to plane out. Also I dont have the 502 like some lucky people. I am also bringing the gps to get actual boarding and planing speeds.
does your boat plane out very quickly? I have to slowly build speed then power it up while trimmed all the way down to plane out with the normal 5 coolers,and 6 people on the boat.
With two it is very easy but I still have to be trimmed all the way down.

Hey D-More, I thought I remembered you but if you saw me walking around with 3 beers at a time you can understand my fyzzy memory.

[red_n_vegas]

Go back to the jet!! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Leave the trim all the way down except for the high speed runs. If you have a lot of peeps in the boat....make them sit up front when boarding. That should help. I am sure the 502 helps, but you should be good with the 454.

[red_n_vegas]

Very sweet..please don't take this the wrong way but..I would have stayed with the jet ,your old jet is awsome... nice gel http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[just another payment]

$38.00 what did you do break down again??
at $2.29 per gallon $38.00 does not get you very much. it cost me $120.00 per day on river trips and about $80.00 per day on lake trips unless I go to a close beach and don't take too many rides, but I my throttle has 2 positions idle and wide open and thats the way the family likes it the faster the better.

As far as $60 for gas ..I filled up last thursday ran to willow back to the house and drove to work everyday this week and filled up again yesterday http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I LOVE MY TRUCK http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif
