Thanks guys!

Sorry idvette... Didint mean to rub it in lol.

My 2.4 was pretty snappy but this thing is rediculous. I ran the 2.4 with the pedal mashed now I find myself leaving it away from the bump stop! Lol

I didn't have my gps yesterday but I ran it up to 7000 with more to go. Gonna be looking for a bigger prop.

Just to be on the safe side I put the prop shaft back down even with pad. I think it handles better there anyway. New water pump. Had 12 psi under throttle. Installed a temp gauge but didn't seem to be working. Gonna have to trouble shoot it. Motor has popet and t stats in it.

Block has a lil port work done with the brucato ecu. I'm guessing 50 more hsp than the 2.4.

I think a 15 in mid with 24 volt trim is gonna be on wish list! Motor definitely out runs the trim now!

Hoping to get some video next weekend

I just did the cheater 24V trim by adding a motorcycle battery to the "up" side of my trim. I have to charge it between outings but it makes a HUGE difference.
