P THOMAS · Nov 12, 2010

Went out testing today, 75 degees in Illinois in Nov.

Mac21, new Coopermuffled pipe, x437 prop, This is a happy boat, just works well.

Looks good Phil. Sounds like its 2 staging on the pipe.

Well now that you have that out of your system, it's time to stop playing

With boats and start building some boats.

Is that what is sound like to you too? Really picked up more speed when it did. Cooper pipe set at 7 1/4 but still mills slow great too.

Excellent! I believe that was a 3 stage run. You do not hear that very often. I'll bet if you felt the carb, it would have ice on it.

Hi Phill

ZOOM ZOOM offer still stands

Phil,

Nice runs back to back.

Aprox. 35,136 RPM that is rollin for a MAC-21.

Not many other motors can do that.

Thanks For Sharing,

Mark,

Is that based on measurement from the sound? If so, how did you account for the doppler effect of the boat heading directly towards the mic?

Cheers, Ian.

Thanks, but setting a timed record with backup runs is harder than just zooming around on the radar.

Yes, I bought that motor from someone, it had some mod work done, and the piston fit is real good too.

You figured that rpm from the prop and speed reading ?

cooperpipes · Nov 12, 2010

Hey Phil

Great run looks like that pipe and motor are working real good together

Phil;

Give Stu Barr a call.

order a rod for a Valvola.

Carl

Phil and Ian,

That is correct.

Simple math with the speed and pitch of the propeller.

Speedmaster 20 mono, good day testing
