[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 379722, member: 15465"] Shakedown cruise completed! Results: Carbs still not right, but at least not too lean so not damaging pistons, Low priority. Getting cavitation, but could work through it. Going to have to add spoon. Will be looking at PSG's posts for sure. Medium priority. Hate the fore-aft stick steering. Ran it for 15 minutes & never got used to it, have to think about which way it will go. Not safe IMO. Redesign pending. Highest priority. Didn't get a top speed due to carb issues, but got to high 20's. It was really fast enough already, so I'm happy with the speed, esp since there was no bow rise at all (not used to that). The big PIA (such as it is) is that every fisherman that came to the ramp while I was there wanted to check it out. Got a bunch of compliments already. What a cross to bear :) Later guys . . .
