Polished B Max

[gociggie]

Rob,
that looks really nice. Nice rig ya got- really like the transom shot with the hardware setup!

silly question, any affect on overall WOT speed? Would not think so, but gotta ask.

Thanks

I'll tell ya what Rob... I get frustrating charging the super chargers each winter and they're already polished!

I can't imagine taking two lowers, especially BMax castings and bringing them up to that level of shine!

Awesome!

Is the 3rd water inlet above the cone to internally cool the BMAX??

[Panther]

Yes. The entire upper half of the bmax is water cooled.

I didnt see any diff,to many variables.I am sure it helped it thinning it so it probaly = out.Yes the polishing is suppose to slow ya down,The mirror finish water spots as soon as it hits the water,so it takes alot to keep it up, it lasted about 4 months and I let it go its a shinny grey now.I usually pull motors and drives every winter to repolish everything, something to do in the winter.

thanks guys for the comps

I'm not sure if I am more jealous for the drives, the motors, the boat, the cars or the spare time it takes to keep all the stuff pretty and running!

Cheers to you, good sheeeeet!!

What do you use for polishing compound? Those look sweet!

Your X looks low for a boat with a notched transom.

Can't say I have EVER seen a polished anode before.
I would be scared to put it in the water now.

To achieve the best of both worlds.... Scuff the leading edge to a satin finish like some prop shops do with LAB props.
You get the performance of satin with the bling of polished.

Just tape off a nice crisp line where you want the satin to end.

It will have a very finished look and be functional

Just a suggestion if the polish costs you speed.

I can't see you noticing any loss due to the thinning during the polishing process.
