Poor Riggs!

Not to many Poker Runs you can go to and have your GM break down on a Sunday morning and have it running before noon, and that was with picking a part up in Charlevoix!

15 5/8 diameter 32p maximus non labbed. 14pct slip rite out of the box. Now I had my family so I only did one quick pull up to 5K and backed down once I was there(rev limit is 5200). I have no idea how much trim I need but it still felt good. Most of the time I was crusing 60mph at 3500 RPM.

Still faster than me... I was running 55 on the limiter all run..
Does say something about stock merc power when you can throw it on the dash and leave it there for miles on end only backing off in the air.

Hopefully I can get the finances worked out and get a 525 built for it over the winter. Another 200 hp should really wake the little boat up.
