Delaware river - Sept 22

Did I mention how much I love that shorty SS drive!! It makes for some good pics when there is a monster rooster tail coming off the back :D

And for the haters...... no I am not trimming it up too far. It's less than 5* of positive trim to get that tail :p The Alpha SS/cleaver prop combo works well for showboating:bigthumb:

Update on the damage, prop shaft is good. Prop can be fixed very easily for under $150. I still want to try a 24p bravo 4 blade yet this year. However I think it might be to small come spring time :sssh:

I like the way that boat looks and runs. I knew it was the shorty drive. Looks cool no matter how you slice it! :D Glad to hear the damage was not to bad. Hows your back doing? Hope that's better too.

Thanks Bob! That boat definitely has a old school cool look and that's what attracted me to it:bigthumb:
The back is doing better than the day of the ride!
 
The first and the fourth are my fav's. I wish it wasn't such a trip to get down there, I'd love to run the Delaware more often. It seems a little more forgiving than the Hudson, a little smaller.
