13.5% slip factor with Bravo I Props
8% slip factor with Maximus Props

Just ordered 32 pitch labbed Maximus Props. Merc Racing says I will see 3-4 MPH gain on top end 7-10 MPH on cruise. Alot of dough ($1500 each) but if it works it will be worth every penny.

I was thinking the same thing. Time to go boat shopping. Dose anyone know if Fountain has that stupid territory deal still going with their dealers. I don't like the idea of having one dealership to shop at. Last I heard an out of area dealer has to pay commission to the dealer in the buyers living area. Anyone know if that is still true?

I am pretty sure they do have that deal. The lowest pricing I have found was from Pier 57. When I told them where I lived they said they would have to pay a fee to our local dealer here but even with that their pricing was better than others.

That is true. But it is to protect the consumer. If they sell you a boat and are willing to service you they don't have to pay the commission. The problem is there are dealers out there that are landlocked and selling boats really cheap, they don't even have a real service department some of them.

Unfortunately it could make it hard to get the right deal. A Friend just bought a new 42' from Raymond's because the local dealer was high on his price. Luckily he had a residence down in the Ozarks and was allowed to buy the boat at the right price.

If you don't like the local dealer you have to pay more or buy a different brand of boat??? I don't get that. It's not a good business practice.

[QUOTE=HiPerf2000]friend has a single step 35 with 750+ a side. we were running mid 90's when we had a blower belt go. He said he has seen a touch over 100 since then.[/QUO

Know the boat, runs great, owner is good guy too, that boat will keep alot of the hot-rodders on the Delaware honest. He smoked us, which was expected, but you gotta try.
