Final test (and I'm not condoning this  ), I stuffed my tips with steel wool. Had to do 3 passes. First was at 78, second was at 80 and third was at 84. Average 82 and a pass. Voila, no more steel wool, or should I say evidence. Only risk is creating too much back pressure, so it took a little trial and error.
BTW, saw your post on OSO. Great boat, great deal. |
Wow, why didn't we think of that? Would have been a lot cheaper. Course then, we would have been stopped again and invited to test again..
