Peconic,

Julie has a Hydro Motive 5 blade that you might want to try.I tried it at the start of the year in Kissimme but I couldnt turn it up.They said they have done some modifications to it.I think you might be able to turn it up high enuogh to make it work.

Did some more testing today. Very humid, 3 people on board, quarter tank of gas.

1.) Lab finished 32 Bravo. Surprise: It behaved just like the stock 32 Bravo.

2.) That 29 Hydromotive 5 blader Frank mentioned. Went to 86.5, even 87 for a second. Tickled the rev limiter at 8450. That prop seems to be a keeper.

Kirk finally released the boat to me this evening. After three test runs, and a race in Atlantic City, he deemed the boat properly tested. Now that's what I call quality assurance.

Damn 87..thats impressive. I'de like to try that prop too.

Bring it to the St. Clair River...or Milwaukee. At those speeds, you should be the one to beat.

TIME TO GET RID OF THE 525's the 350lb weight does noithing to slow the boats down. EITHER LET US GUYS WITH THE 500HP CRANK UP THE HORSE POWER OR GIVE THE 525 GUYS THEIR OWN CLASS. HOW CAN YOU COMPETE AGAINST 87 MPH, GIVE ME A BREAK. I WAS TOLD IF MY BOAT DID NOT STAY COMPETITIVE THIS YEAR APBA WOULD DO SOMETHING TO SLOW DOWN THE 525'S WELL THE TIME HAS COME, HEY APBA LETS DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Keven, Randy can chime in on this, but the Test boat for all of this has been a Corsa just like yours, witch is very similar to my Superboat. The Sport Master Drive really has an effect on my boat but dosn't seem to bother Randy's. I lost about 3 MPH with this lower, Still running 79 to 80 with my Vortech. Don't quote me on this, but Joey Impressca says the sport master drive becomes efficient around 83 mph and up, I heard all this second hand. Mark and Gino now run the 525 I would like to see what differences they are seeing.

RANDY'S OLD BOAT WAS ALWAYS A PRETTY FAST BOAT BUT I DON'T THINK IT EVER RAN 85 OR 86 MPH LIKE THE NEW ONE WITH THE 525, THE ACTIVATORS WERE ALWAYS FAST IN THE BIG WATER BUT IN THE CALM THEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK, NOW WITH THE 525 THEY ARE BOTH OUT KICKING BUTT, I NO THE TESTING WAS DONE IN A CORSA STEVE USED HIS BOAT WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME AS OURS, STEVE IS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME APBA WOULD DO SOMETHING IF THE 525 RUN AWAY WITH EVEY THING AND TO DATE I THINK THEY HAVE, BARING PENALTIES. DIRECT FROM CRE THE 525'S MAKE MORE HORSE POWER THE MORE YOU USE THEM, DIRECT FROM CRE THEY HAVE SEEN 570HP FROM THEM AFTER BREAKING IN THE MOTOR AND WE THE 500HP GUYS ARE SOME WHERE BETWEEN 480 AND 520 HP THAT PEOPLE IS VERY UNBALANCED, ALLS I ASK IS GIVE US THE SAME HORSE POWER AS THE 525'S OR GIVE THEM THEIR OWN CLASS, DIRECT FROM CRE EVERY 12HP COULD BE GOOD FOR 1/2 MPH DO THE MATH THE 525'S HAVE A HUGE ADVANTAGE EVEN WITH THE WEIGHT ISSUE, I'M ONE OF THE LIGHTEST BOAT OUT THEIR AND CANT RUN 87MPH.
AND I CAN WEIGH 4100LBS, EVEN WITH THE NEW MOTOR FROM CRE WE CAN RUN THAT FAST BUT TAKE A BOAT THAT WEIGHS 4800-5000LBS AND THEY CAN WITH THE 525, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT PIX.

Folks, before we get excited: My boat is not APBA F1 legal. Higher X and 7" setback through ITS. That Hydromotive seems to like that combination. The 5 blader did not work out for Randy.

Kirk (who performs prop calculations in his head for entertainment) is in touch with Julie & Matt.

We want to try that 4blade Hydromotive also. It's winging it's way to us.
