![]() I too have a sharp exciter (not as sharp as yours). Oh well.I could still be doin 80+ with my Vector but I just can't stand the beatin's in this bay chop anymore:eek: Here's the old Baja.:DĪwsome looking checkmate. As a matter a fact I bought that motor with a Crecent gearcase that shelled on me and I picked up a few MPH by switching to stock then also. That hull weighed in at but I had one of them old 14 petal 225 Mercs. I ran a 28 big ear A5 on a real heavy Baja restoration I did a few years back and it ran deep but gave me my best #'s and bowlift 65 MPH. NEXT on to the bolt on motor mods.Heads cc'd to 140 lbs, 4 petal cages & boyesens, maybe a little exhaust chest work later on if I can get BL or Skip to guide me some. I'm going to modify the existing stock water intakes and close up the top hole(s) and run a 26Pīig ear chopper as high as I can before my pressure falls off then bump it back down 'till my pressure comes back up. I appreciate the input & it gives me hope to break 70 but I'm sticking with a stock LU. Oh yea.I sold the Vector & guess what I bought? Yep you got it. #3 Leave Johnnyd's Checkmate alone until I get a gazillion H.P. #1 never get drawn into the rough running a Vector and a smug grin :D It was that grin of his :p ![]() Well.turns out hes got a 2.5 wth a gazillion H.P. Now I'm behind him getting sprayed by HIS rooster tail tryin ta figure out what the heck is makin' that thing so stinkin' fast lookin' at the bottom of his stern ALL THE WAY UP & OUTTA THE WATER with a "V" :confused: then.we come outta the flats and into the chop & I look over my left shoulder and here comes this 21' BARGE outta the water & flyin :eek: I'm gettin' the snot beat outta me in 1'-2' chop & I've gotta be comin' 2' outta the water tryin ta beat this thing :eek: Finally I had no choice but to back off if I was to live to race another day.Here comes this 21' yellow barge FLYING past me FULL OF PEOPLE passin' around drinks & snacks pointing at me gettin' the dogtar beat outta me, like they was havin a convention on that thing or somethin' Then we both lit out and I left him in my roostertail just as I anticipated :D. I was in my Vector doing speed runs and prowlin' around the Sarasota Bay flats lookin' fer somethin' to race & I came around Beer Can Island and spotted that overgrown 21' yellow aircraft carrier of Johnnyd's :D I was runnin' my 84 mph 'Stream so I figured he'd be a nice snack ) Well this area is protected on both sides by land so I slinked up along side him & kinda eyeballed him. ![]()
