Kyle and I ran out for a quick test drive after fixing blower. It worked great and actually moved air out of the bilge. It probably helped that I rerouted the hose so it was not crushed behind the exhaust manifold. The capped through hulls didn’t leak either. Two for two on Sunday. We ran for about an hour and saw a gps speed of 30 mph at 3200 rpm. We got the rpm’s up to 4000 but that is when we were making the video so not sure how fast. I am not sure how accurate a phone gps is anyway. 30 mph will be more than enough on the ocean on even a perfect day anyway. One step closer to being ocean ready!!! Lots of work to do to make the boat a restored classic but it is usable now.
