I heard a rumor that Glenn threw down a challenge for 21/250's to break 95, or something like that. Did anybody take him up on it?

With it being Friday morning before the poker run and taking place up on the other end of the lake, I doubt anybody showed. I haven't heard for sure though. Timing and location was not well thought out.

He actually cancelled the run as he had a guy out at work 2nd half of the week. I think we would all take video proof though if anyone still wants to run!

I know Tim could have done it. Besides, I think Glenn and Lee were working on Steve's Yammahammer that morning running it..

Stop by next year Neal and show Glenn what YOU can do!!!!! That would be great!!

I don't think anyone ever claimed a 21/250 would break 100.

But based on the numbers ran the other day in near 100 degree heat with a full fishing load, I feel pretty confident it could be done in cooler weather or with a little less weight.

5% slip is getting through the water pretty slick.

Any fuel additives and what type of fuel?

87 octane from Country Girls (non-ethanol I think). Only additive is mercury quickleen.

I just put the video with some more details up on the propellers forum.
