Good racing at dunnville!
It's great to see you and your boat improving Jason! Was it just a power change? I remember the prop used to blow out and have trouble lifting the nose - what fixed it?

Dave Muir has some awesome pictures up on facebook by the way.
Thanks Dave!



Jake

I changed props, got a fresh powerhead and 3 inches of setback.

Sorry to all for my hook in turn 2 on sunday....my foot throttle came out of the floor so the nose dropped!!!

Congrads to Kevin for winning the T850 title. Dave was runner up and Paul finished third. Dad beat Junior so that is a title as well. Best in family award. I wondered why you were looking at Juniors trim system.

We hoped to have a total of 25 different racers between the two classes T750 and T850 in 2014. We show 23. Dan is missing from T750 on the point chart. He raced in Gravenhurst. The 25th boat was to be the 4 stroke Mercury. It will be there next year.
Impressive numbers considering we restarted the class only a few years back.
Next year Dave Whittington will be back. He had 4 weddings to attend this summer. I hope Mike Corey returns and we have 4 new possibles for next year. Gig is still a possible as well.

Well done Kevin....can't believe you went a whole weekend without blowing something up! :lol:

Cory will be back next year with some Top Gun OMC power...Gig is enjoying retirement fishing but we have all winter to work on him.

Congrats Kevin....well done sir.
I have quickly learned that there is a tremendous amount of skill, experience and set up required to make it in the top spot of all classes.

Oh yeah, Dok, let's see a fresh hopped up Yamaha powerhead on there for next season! I know that thing still runs but show us what a Yamaha powered T-boat can really do!
