Thanks Yeh, the High Five is the winner for our purposes. I just can't get the boat out of the driveway w/o the kids to really try different setups...which is fine. Trim was a 'bit more responsive and it shoots onto plane...speedo read 25 due to clog? Lots of debris in water. Felt around low sixties which was close the Laser 2.
Wishing you lots of soft water soon...longest winter ever in PA!

Looks good! We still have hard water up here.
My vegas had a high five on it when I got the boat, it was a good all around prop.

Forgot to add picture of cowling progress

Still a little work to do on top and back of cowling...some paint came off with painters tape Ran High Five today..really liked it. And...got some half decent video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qoHB2N50vM

Already looks good, thats why Im asking how to remove them , Thanks for the info from you and Viper

Well, it's raining here so we continued to work on the cowling. Have 1" dark charcoal metallic pinstriping on order for indents above and below logo...should look good :0)

I use a eraser wheel on a drill to remove stickers, but try it in a place that doesn't show first. It works good but it's still a pain.


I took a ride on the lake today looking at race sites.

Well, it's kinda high-tech. Hair dryer:0) Tried goo-gone, oops...nothing worked. Hair dryer doesn't get too hot like heat gun to damage fiberglass. It is time consuming and need to clean remaining residue with goo-gone and elbow grease. Finish with Meguiars Oxidation Remover. Wax with Liquid Glass. Make it shine w/ Yacht Brite.
Credit card scraper also helps with difficult sections. I'm ordering pinstriping and should be done next week w/ mine.
I used Mercury Phantom black to fill in every little ding, sprayed into cap and used match (tip from Lakeside Marina) ripped side and it really worked.
Hope that helps.

I like the cover . How did you get the old stickers off ?

It was cold...a lot of snow on "shady side" of islands. Totally worth it...3 year old was ready to stay longer, have to check her "stats" :0)
