Not that I know of but would be interesting to hear about

I know of a single merc #5 30' V and a single merc #6 30' V both had to lower the drive back down after raising it up and run a 3 blade prop. They have 10's of thousands of dollars into dial in and testing. Both boats are amazing but no where near where they thought/hoped/ or should have been

Peter's new 29 Outerlimits has a single 725 Ilmor with a Indy surface drive running good but about 20mph shy of what it should. Peter seems to be one of the more knowledgeable members on OSO and if anyone can figure it out he can.

Not to discourage you but single V's with surface piercing drives are not the easiest to make run correct but when they do look out!

There are some single Arneson V's that have run really great with surface drive props and some also run great with bravo style props.

Good luck and keep us updated on your build!

what I want to know is what have you done to get a 525 38 TS to run 91-93 mph ?

Yeah that's exactly my point, going to be even more of a challenge to dial in a SCX-4 on a Non Stepped V.......
