Well Bob...I bet you know what I think this one is missing right...? Just one glaring omission.

Do you work for CNN? Sounds like fake news!

Nah, I live in an alternate reality.
My crew is the Norwegian Women's Beach Volleyball Team.

Powerball is 403 million, we could buy that Volleyball Team! Hell with the Hextuna! I want the Octuna 74 with 6- 6.6 Duramax TurboDiesels.

Meh, I had one of those.
They're dogs. Couldn't get mine above 226 MPH GPS, and there's no place to buy diesel on my lake.

2017 regency 254 dl3
Mercury 300 pro four stroke
Lifting strakes everywhere but outside of outer logs
Enertia 15.6x13 prop

GPS 41.5 at 6400 rpms.

Thinking a 15 or 17 should be on it.

Update:

Installed enertia 15x15. Ran 46 gps upwind with a full tank of gas. Right about 6200 rpm. I think it might touch 48 with the right conditions.

Biggest improvement though was a jump from 29 mph to 35 mph at 5k rpm.

Can now cruise at 30 at 4500 rpm and no trim where before it took 5k and some trim.

Scrapped the hextuna.

Now I have an inertially stabilized monotoon with a neutrino induction gravity wave drive.
It runs on Dark Matter, and has no known top end.

Unfortunately, my lake is only about 16 miles long.
It runs end-to-end in 72 seconds with the delta thermo voltaic positron feedback set to idle.

Looks like it will do Long Beach to Sydney in about 3.5 hours at about 15% of nominal "WOT".

So you've been abducted and they told you how they power there craft? I was wondering where you've been.

Is this Mercury's new V-8 Four-Stroke that replaces the Verado?

No sir, I got the last year of the supercharged 6 cyl. Didn’t plan it that way though.

I wouldn’t have bought a first year new design had I know it was coming out anyway.

Very happy so far with the blower motor. I had the ol lady, the kid, and a bunch of fat chicks in it last weekend and was still getting over 40.
