I got 13.8 going up. I think I could have done better because Lisa was in front of me with a Starcraft and would only do 55 so I didnt get a run at the hills. When I hit 40 it was all up hill and I drank some fuel. I know if I had a 5er I would have gotten worse cause of the wind. Between Kingman and the dam the wind was horrible. I need to tape up my cooler cause my tranny temps never seen 150 until i was sitting waiting to cross but never went above that. I want to get it to at least 160. Overall I am real happy with its manners not alot of smoke and keeping EGTs down.

Lars I got liability cargo at 100k because this is my side business and alot of people want it and will actually pay you extra. Between the 2 boats we made 800 and then minus out fuel and eats then put some in a maintenance account. All in all not bad for a days work.
