I always look forward to the annual visit; and yeah, I always find myself looking at homes on the local market during those visits.

There are worse places to live than Kentucky, Paul!

Lem I have a question or two. Please excuse my ignorance, but I must ask.

1. Is the Lenco unit used as a transmission or an "in-out" box?
2. If the Lenco unit provides an overdrive increase, what's the overdrive percentage?
3. If an increase in overdrive exist, it's hard to hear in the video although you can sure see the prop speed increase!

Ronnie's boat sure looks good in the water. I suppose this is the hydro he's had for several years. Those high horsepower, carburetored, well tuned (engine & overdrive %) two speed hydros sure sound sweet! Remember that hydro that ran so well? It had a camouflage paint scheme. Assault?

This is the 1st year he has had a hydro........in/out it is. No trans.

B.T.W. there were 8 boats in the class...One BBF w/carb & gas [Ronnie] and six blown BBC with injected methanol .....I assume the BBC had green oil.

Dee mentioned on her last trip to SoCal that a car guy was pretty interested, sorry it didn't sell.

Hope you're good,

Paul
