Mike G, 2006 before carpet and back panel, we ran 78mph standard 4 blader, ski set up. 2007 with rear panel and carpet running 73-74mph.
This year hopefully will be running near on 82-83mph as I got a new worked 3 blader and Im lifting the engine up 2 inches 
Again thankyou for the nice comments

Thanks a lot for putting those up. Got a few good ideas now. The boat is a credit to you. Lots of effort obviously but so worth it to have something like that at the end.
Cheers

Cyco,
I thought youd like that image.
If you are interested I have a before and after showing the original after 2 summers of use. 
I can recommend these to anyone and perfectly made. Ideal for that little bit of bling

Raising the motor

Watch your water pressure when you raise the engine! Running a standard box like that makes running a high motor pretty hard. Low water pick up is the wat forward. I bought one recently off a blown motor though which was full of sand and shells. Obviously beached it and blew the motor.
Also try using an engine jack. Hang the motor right off the back of the boat. A nice Bob's one will look spot on. We always find they give you a little extra top end and you can adjust the height as much or as little as you like rather than going with the bolt holes.
Once again, great job!
