Kevin after all the time we have spent on the phone, I am glad to finally meet you and your Family!! You are truly part of my extended family and welcome here anytime. It was great to meet Flo and the kids tell them hi from me. I was in such a hurry to get out of town it was hectic with work and everything, I promise to be a better host next time.

I had a great time at the river busted a 71.9 best with lots of 71's to follow I would say it averaged out to 71.5 not to bad for the budget 1200 ski with stock reeds and power valves only upgrades are the New FF Plate, d-plate, carb rejetting, 1200 grate and 05 pump & 14/20 df my best rpms after continued messing with trigger wire on the fupd tiny tach were 6950-6970 not sure if I trust this tach.
