Great job ! Looks good and sounds good and what could be better than a big ass rooster tail.

Thanks, pretty happy to have it going...couple last things to straighten out and she's good to go...haven't cracked it out yet, barely hit 3500-4000 rpm, seems like a pretty fast hull...

That Rooster makes me want to leave work and get my Shiat fixed ASAP!!

Wow, just got back from my 2nd time out on the river...got going quite a bit quicker...the TACH is reading way low though...still saw 65+ on a standard teleflex speedo so not terribly accurate...felt damn fast, pinning it for a second or two at 50+mph pins you to the seat....porpoises alot going 30'ish with any more than half up on the place diverter , going faster it smooths right out...Wow...lots of fun...
Quick question, my steering wheel and adapter keep coming loose of the shaft, and the key falls out. I can't get anything on the nut through the adapter except for needle nose pliers and can only get it flush with the top of the shaft...not enough apparently...any suggestions how to tighten it up? Makes it a little scary to drive...haha...Thanks

I was just saying to myself as I was watching that there seems to be a LOT more power there you were barely on the thing. It looks and sounds great!! :crossx: :crossx: I need to go to the Delta now, thanks :cool:

Can you pop the wheel off the hub and tighten first? Just an idea, don't know what style of wheel you have, but get that fixed. Could be a big problem!!

Got the wheel on good now...haha...yeah, created some interesing moments with the wheel coming off at speed...I'm thinking with the right trim and light load, mid 70's should be easy, and still hoping to see 80...so far full trim for the rooster is all I've been doing
