    So I finally got a chance to get out and run the boat. Boy was a I disappointed. I never found a marking stating the pitch of the prop. Keep in mind this motor came off a pontoon.

    So I get past the NO WAKE signs at Packs and opened up the throttle. I got it up to a whopping 10 mph. It would not plane out for anything. WOT was about 3000 rpm. So apparently the pitch of that prop is real low, which makes sense. After all, it was on a pontoon.

    Last week I ordered a Powertech SS 14 pitch. It's on the way, but it'll be a few days before it gets in. I just wanted to run the boat real quick to see how the motor does on the hull. Looks like I'll be waiting until the Powertech gets in. Can't wait to see what she'll run on the GPS when that prop comes in.

    We ain't done yet. Now we gotta hang that 70 on the Scout in the background of pic 2 so I can get it sold. 3 boats showed up to his house in one week and two of 'em was mine.

    Towman is good people I don't care what you fellers say about him.
