We are working with Hydro now on some custom 5 blades so we can keep a high X get on plane and top end. Enjoy the new wheels.

Great! Was hoping you were going to say that.

Yep, I was about 3 - 4 clicks past nuetral on the drives.

My one off Kustom Hydro P5X's are on the way, will see how they run.

Starting to find the sweet spot now, got cruise and plane dialed in.

bring the boat to me and i am SURE there is 3-5mph in the bottom that is now jacked for sure! there is a ton of stuff we can do and with the engines you have to prob hit the 100mph mark w/o adding power!

Hello, do you work on all boat bottoms? A friend of mine is gonna have some repairs done to the bottom of his 93 Cafe racer soon. Do you think there are a few MPH in the bottom of that hull??

Question. Brett and I where debating pros and cons on turning out and turning in on the props, what characteristics would there be for turning props in ? Just curious.

We had to run with props turning in due to an intermediate shift cable breaking on our starboard drive. (Starboard drive was stuck in reverse).

Turning in created way too much stern lift. It was an interesting experience though. We ran from Key West back to Pompano like that.

Stick with props turning out.

I guess i need to clarify, if you where to build a set of props made for lower stearn lift and made to turn in has there been any testing done for this configuration ?

Not to my knowledge.

Update, Final props from BBlades are on and turning wonderfully, ended up dropping the drives 1" and reducing the prop diamater to 15" on the 5 blade maximus props, went from 23% prop slip to 16% and the boat is now running on rails once again at high speeds. Plane time is acceptable, Mid range punch will put you in the seat and trim is back to normal operating between 3-5 and neutral tab settings. We would like to Officially introduce Energy Crisis to the 100+ MPH club now running Kustom Marine power with full fuel @ 900' above sea level and fresh water. Cant wait to see how it likes the salt water in key west with a light load.
