GB'S wheels rocked and he was quick to reclaim them!

I have a feeling that your new 4 blades will be the ticket.



Bernie the door is open to my NJ bros.

I am currently working on larger props but have not spent to much effort ($$$) on it. 33' 4 blades offer amazing acceleration and 105 top end with 4 passengers.



The boat really shines in 3ft seas which is what I like to run over 90 in.

The 300xs is a great motor but it starts retarding the timing at 6150 and shuts down after 6300.

Fuel economy is astronomical.

What 3 blade was you running? 14.5X34,14.75X34 or 15X34 I am putting the 300XS on my new 09 32' Spectre.
Thanks

Dan,
Thanks for the info on the props. I will have some testing to do but this is a start. How fast is the 32' Spectre running with the 15"x34 bblades and 14.75"X32.
Thanks for the info
