Finally got it done ran it today and ran 81 at 6,000rpm with a 25 revolution.I'm going to try a 28 bravo 1. I think thats the prop i need.Boat ran great and pulls hard.I'm hopin for 85 if I can get bit dialed in with the right prop.

Yea it sounds awesome!!!!Boat handles like a different Boat now.I'll have the hatch on for the weekend I had to do a little fitting with it.I set the drive height at 19 inches and when you trim the drive it throw's a preety good rooster tail.

Prop test update.I tried a labed 28 bravo one it had a few digs in it but at 5700 85.1 mph. I think i might need a 30 bavo one.

Great to see it in the water, looks like a mini version of my 42'.
Yea, a 30 might get you down to 5500 rpm and 87mph.
Sounds like a plan to me.
let us know

I'm hopin to get a few more out of it with a 30 bravo one.If i can get 2 more mph thay would be great.Switching it over to a bravo setup was well worth it.

Prop switch update.Well the 30 is too big.The 28 is the prop.But get this I tested it without the hatch when i put the hatch on i lost 3 mph.I guess the air temp is not as cool. The flame arrester is touching the hatch and that is without my spacer plate on the carb. So I cut out a hole in the hatch and put back on my spacer witch would not fit since i did the change over because of the high X.Now the flame arrester sticks out of the hatch 2 inches I can't put the sun pad on but if it works good I'll run a scoop and fit the sun pad around it.All to get afew more out of it.What a Pain in the ass

I tested it with a hole in the hatch with the 2 inch spacer.It was alot hotter 80 but it ran 84 and the bay was like glass.I ran it with 4 fat people and got 78.8 and with me and 1 person 82.8 boat runs great.I just need to do a scoop and fit the sun pad around it.

After one month of dialing the boat in I ended up running a dominator 1050 on it. after i upt the scoop on it and the 2 inch carb spacer it started to run very lean. I had to jet my 850 way up so I put my buddies 1050 on it and it ran alot better.I ended up putting the 30 pitch prop back on it and my best was 86.8 so it looks like this winter i need to buy a 30 bravo one a new intake and a 1050 dominator.At 4200 i'm going 70 and at 3800 60 and wtf open 5300 86.8.
