I wish...
More like the removal of 500kg will take it closer to the 3 ton mark!
The ice boat did 101 at Windermere with 2x250's
Mr Nick has loaned me a set of 26's to test the boat with on Thursday. We'll try two runs, one with the existing 28's which were 700 rpm off the mark in the last test and then with the 26's to see if they get closer to the magic 82mph needed to ensure the boat survives...
Anything short of 80mph and there is gonna be a huge bonfire night at my farm - all invited. Guest of the moment will be the bladerunner with Jeremy at the controls.
The wheat will be in giving an empty 16 acre plot to burn the bloody thing in!
