Well, I made it to the river today and did a little testing. The extensions didn't increase my speed yet, but did make the boat drive better. Now to more or less start over with props and setup.

Re: Vulture setup

Re: Vulture setup
Okay I am technologically challenged, stole the wifes laptop and tried to figure out how to put a pic up here but had no luck. Could I trouble someone here to post it for me? I can send it as a text off my phone or as an email, whichever makes the most sense. Thanks, Dwayne

Re: Vulture setup
Thank you, I am learning quickly what it is like to be a member of the slightly more expensive "big motor club". Lol. Right now it seems to run best somewhere around 1 1/2" to 2" below the pad. I am running a Bob's 200 case with lwp and water pressure gauge. Boat has been recored...
