Ron,
Hi, just wondering if a ten spline can be put into those 10 by 19 cleaver jim johnson props you have on ebay? and a price with post to Australia?

I am slightly concerned about putting a chopper on that hull!

Thanks heaps Glenno

Looks like it maybe used as a thrust bracket

Yep that is a thrust block or trim block.
We use them to get a better and more acurate trim setting as it has a threded rod in the middle for in and out adjustment.
Also it takes alot of play and movement out of the motor from the factory rubber bushes and helps on the sharp circuit turns we do here in the rivers in Australia.

Drove the freak of a boat for the first time on the weakend, I am in love!

Thanks Glenno

She might be a little wild on the corners....but this prop in the upper left corner, should do just fine!

Correct me if I am wrong , but isn't that Leo Pecks old boat?
It was a very fast little tunnel and you should have a great time in it along with some race wins, nice finish, great work:)

Hi Ron,

That prop looks great, they all do, you are a artist with stainless, nothing as awesome as a prop well fished mate!
Ps; I can't believe it is picking water up at that height but it does, looks so high, raised it another half inch on the weekend and still gets water. GPS speed of 56.54mph or 91kph on the short sircuit, sure it would wind out more on longer straight.

Yes that is Loe's old boat.
It was first registered 31 years ago and it still holds the 25hp speed record in Australia, not bad!
I would love to get in touch with Leo peck to update him on the boat If anyone knows his details Please PM me.

First race weakend just gone I got second in one race last in two and first in one, just shows my inexperience in the new boat.

I really enjoy driving the thing, still needs some setting up though.

The Glenno
