| May be inclined to sell my Rapidcraft, just gettin' a bit older, priorities changing. It is nicely fixed up now, very clean, good fun for racing or just blasting around our lakes.

| A few days ago I wrote to Doug and Norm, got this reply just now from the Muskoka/Parry sound MPP...

| FOCA is a useful organization supportive of cottagers' rights. Have to add that I know the head honcho -- Terry Rees -- he used to work for me, then he left the downtown corporate world, joined FOCA and moved to much less stressful Peterborough. A couple of seasons ago he came out to the Sep Peterbo... |

| I'm with you on this one. If these restrictions stay in place longer than early May, I might take you up on your offer of a borrowed canoe. We have a small mainland parking area -- no boat ramp but provides water access, a fine place from which to canoe across [me + battery + gas tank]. I also want ... |

| Right on! I can/do run at 6200-6250 rpm, watch the gauge a bit at those rpms. Only hit the limiter once, in some moderate waves, which may have caused a bit of fluctuation in rpms, and that cut much of the power for a short while, then came back to full power [not ideal during a race, I suppose]. St... |

| I do plan on watching this film soon. I recently watched "The 24 Hour War" on Netflix. Same story, but the documentary version. I think good to see the real thing, then the movie. Or maybe the other way around? Not quite sure, actually. Up to you. The documentary was excellent. And the mov... |

| Little as possible. I first had Bob's Machine reversible jack plates at the min ~ 2" setting, but couldn't get the motor angled in enough to get out of the hole well, based on the transom angle on the RC. So I replaced those with two Bob's wedges, installed to allow the motor to tuck in more, a... |

| I also have a Ron Hill 3 blade over hub 12.5" 22 pitch that Kawartha re-worked a bit and cut down to 12". With that, 64 mph at 6200 rpm on the Rapidcraft/4 stroke 60 Merc combo. Of course another variable is prop height -- on the RC, centre of shaft is 1.75" below the transom. The mot... |

| This fall on a cool day with Matt at the cottage I did manage a solid 65 mph at 6200 rpm with the Rapidcraft and Merc 60 4 stroke, when I re-borrowed the Jeff Brown SE winning prop [that I got from Jeff Baker and sold to Rick who I believe hasn't tried it yet but who lent it to Matt]. That's a 12&qu... |
