    I will freely admit that I know next to nothing about propellers. I am asking for input from those that do, how hard would it be to beat some more pitch (or whatever they need) into these things so they don't rev so high? Pitch block? I have no idea, help!

    And Cheyney looks like you get 15 minutes since it sounds like only 6 hours of testing and it starts at 11 in the morning so ends at 5 but everything is subject to change. It will be a ton of fun for sure.

    As usual.

    Testing

    Will most likely be broken down with 30 minutes for J's at beginning and end. Then free for all with max 12 boats on course. A pit boss will probably be needed to regulate this. We have little time to be doing sessions for different classes with different speeds (AKA ASH probably should watch themselves with the 350's). At summer nationals with 10 hour's of testing we can do that, but with only 6 hours it will be hard to implament.

    I'm breaking in a engine so I hope I get as much time as possible , it will be the first time the motor touches water , and the boat .

    Good info

    Ricky Montoya and myself are heading this project up....so the more info we can get from across the country the better. I have been running DSH for the last 20 or so years, so I know very little about setup etc on Yamato stuff. We are going to start this out as a local class at Lake Mayfield the first weekend of May.....and hopefully run it at the majority of races this year. And I want to see it become a national class...but more on that later. David
