Thanks for the great advice guys - I think a minor pitch adjust sounds in the cards. My wife was watching me back the boat up last week and said "stop" right after I hit a palm tree with the prop. Result - 1 bent prop blade! My bad since I expected her to say "stop" BEFORE I hit the Fucking tree!!!

I'm gonna get that pyro too... just didn't know what exhaust temps were safe.

Thanks again guys,
