Do you think 70mph is possible? I'm already pleased if it reaches around 60mph.

Yup .. get the carbs sorted... and the prop.. I think he likes to machine his cranks then stick in some high octane gas and you'll be good for it

Haha, I think it is possible to hit something like 58 mph... Does nearly 53 at the moment, but the prop is way to small. 70mph is impossible with this engine, then you need something like 150hp whaha.
Here's a vid:

Had a good cruise last night with my brother. Recovery was hard though due to breaking waves over the bottom of the slip. You wouldn't think it going by the picture. Taken on my phone.
