ok finally took it out in open water on a 12 mile run to a back water slue
with a full hunt load 3 guys 200 plus 2 labs 6 doz decoys hit 24mph i thought that was pretty good considering its a grizzly 1860 pretty big boat
I did notice when i tilted the motor al the way down it gained speed and lowered the rpm to 3700-3750 but now my marsh mellow double barrel is looking pretty anymore its toast brown now even the top muffler is brown .is that normal any input would be appriciated

It’s pretty normal for the SS exhaust to change to a brown color even look at the web site some the exhaust has changed color. That happens after you run it for awhile. Think of it as a nice camo.

well considering its all salt water didnt help much either

it happens from heat. its just discolored. not corroded.

Man what a great picture! You can really see how they use the tail feathers to slow down and land. Great Pic. What type of lens are u using?

hey another so cal mudmotor guy ...... how are you guys doing this year?
