Looking to upgrade from my 02' 29 Fever with 575 SCi to 35' Exec with 500 EFI's. Does anyone have this package? What are legit speeds? What props? How is the planning and mid range speeds? 29' Fever is for sale!

That is exactly what I have, single step, twin HP500EFI's with 1.5 gears, typical speed is 75 mph any time, any place, any weight. If conditions are right, wind, temperature, light load, etc I can sometimes see low 80's. I have two sets of props, Bravo 4 blade 28's and 30's. The 28's have more bottom end the 30's give me a higher mid range cruise, but only turn 4700 rpm and top out at 75 mph. Maximum rpm is 5200 with the 28's. So I use the 30's when cruising, 3000 rpm=55 mph, 3500 rpm=60 mph.

When the temperature is hot or I have a bigger load I will put the 28's back on.

Both. The ass end rides low because of the weight in the back and when you put 6+ people on it they can literally sink. Especially when the boat stops and the 6+ people decide that the sunpad is the place to be. But it looks cool right.............

Fountain's 'different' boat measuring techniques have me feeling that this thing's too small for lake michigan. Thanks for the help, all.
