I didn't know it would cost that much. :eek: :( I see now why all of a sudden you quit talking about them, and why you're staying with the Bravo style.
Again thanks for all the help Pat, as soon as we can work all of the details out, should be a hell of a combination, BTW how much speed increases should I look for if any with the Weisman...:drink: |

I havent stop talkig about them, I really would love to have the weisman, Hey Pat does Weisman have 6 mo no interest:lolhit: but seriously I haven't ruled anything out, if I do a SCX it will only be until I can get the funds for the Weisman, like I said on other post, Pat is the final desision, just want him and Steve to work out all of the details on instalation and an exact price for all of the goodies:drink: be working on me a brother-in-law price Pat.
Again thanks for all the help Pat, as soon as we can work all of the details out, should be a hell of a combination, BTW how much speed increases should I look for if any with the Weisman...:drink: I think you'd see at least 5mph, maybe 10, but Pat could tell you better than I. |

129 @ 6400 with a 36?
20% slippage.. Yuck. |
Even calculating it as a 35 pitch (which is what you usually do with merc props) it equates to about 18% slip.
Not to be disrespectful in any way..But.. what is the big deal with that... I think that slip is over emphasized. Many boats run the fastest at between 15% - 20% slip. Gary Taylor ran about 20% slip while setting the world speed record for a single engine v-hull. The "cat-killer" runs about 15% slip. I have done literally hundreds of hours of testing on my boat, using different drives, spacers, and props. I have had my slip as low as 7.2% and as high as 22% on the top end, and my boat is the fastest and handles the best with slip between 14% and 16%. I had a naval hydrodynamics engineer tell me that I should stop being so focused on slip, and be more concerned with performance and speed. When I started doing that.. my boat started getting faster. 130 mph is darn fast for a single engine.. 26 ft cat. Just my humble opinion, Chris |
