Chad is in Amsterdam for a boat show, and I'm at the shop "WORKING".

The Stoker is basically "Water Ready" but I think Mike Quindazzi, Jr. works for a living and Thursday is a work day.

I'm leaving Friday for Phoenix for the weekend...

See you at Parker...

after spending 6 hours at lake elsinore thursday, I have not been able to solve the boat problems, I will try again wednesday and thursday at parker. If I cant, I will scratch !
anybody needs help in the pits, let me know, (i will have lots of time if i scratch friday morning due to motor problems, i rather help than be a spectator)

Pat:

Please describe what's going on. Maybe we can put our collective heads together to solve the problem before you get to Parker.

hi ross,
it seems like i cannot get top end power,everything seems ok until i get to about 4 to 5000 rpm then i put my foot in to it all the ways and get hardly any progress, tried lots of stuff ,3 different props (including a ron hill, a dewalt and one borrowed from bill curtis ) raised motor 1/4 inch at the time about as high as it can go (only 3 threads left on the screws) ,also tried trimming the motor up and down with throtle all the way in and notice a slight increase in speed with the motor in the (way) up position. hopefully i can test wednesday and/or thursday at parker (away from the race course) and solve the problem.I did find a small kink in my fuel line this morning, i am replacing it right now.
