from vaca...in case anyone was wonderin...I took the ole 28SS to Block Island and Newport(from Riverhead, NY). What a trip! It was great running, made it from Newport to Montauk in less than 40 minutes(3400rpm/52mph)! Nice riding too in the open ocean! The trip out to Block was a little rougher, so I gained a new found respect for those who race offshore!
I encountered no mechanical difficulties on the trip, but a couple days prior, I did have a strange problem. The carbon "button" in the distributor cap(that the rotor comes in contact with) disintegrated into a fine dust and took out the ignition sensor in the distributor(must have shorted out)...needless to say, that was fun to troubleshoot! and I replace the cap on the other engine while I was at it! Any of you guys seen this before??
Other than that, it was a great week...a sort of last horahhh.
PaulO, How'd you make out with that propeller situation...you wann try my 24 Bravo1?
I aint gonna make to to the run on the south shore http://www.donzi.net/ubb/frown.gif but I will be makin some events next year for sure...you guys should have a blast---and make sure you all give that Velocity a good spankin!
