Yep, an engine always gives you an advantage in a race!

Does the Bud bottle increase the horsepower or is it just for show?

Nice motor though.

Err..right. So, no American beer, just a big American motor!

Never tried Carlton, but I would already agree with you that it's probably better than Bud!

Not as nice as Guinness though. But then, what is?

What prop have you got on there by the way? Just curious.

Nothin yet
I used a 28/14 TE Cleaver with the 225 for ski racing (89mph boat only and 80mph with 2 skiers) and a 30/14.5 offshore Cleaver for boat racing (94mph)
I would say a 30 Lightening ET might be the go on the 250xs
So its testing time
