Any pointers for racing a 34', set up, props, trim....

What hp are your engines? Drive height? My father's 34' was set-up as a pleasure boat, and the drives where mounted higher (than four other 34' Phantoms with Bravos that we have seen).

We run 32" Bravos, at 5000 - 5050 rpms. (502/415+ with Gil Exhaust and Tyler Crockett ECU re-programming)

check with the guys from Simmons Racing..they run the former Twisted Styx..in class 4/OPA.

their 34 is hooked-up!

Post a question on the OPA Forum..I'm sure they'll get back to you.

Good Luck...great boats!

Bodyshot is right, that boat is hooked-up. The drives on our boat are 1" higher than Simmons Marine, but then again we only are weekend racers going in a straight-line for a short distance as compared to a 50 mile course with turns. That Simmons boats takes turns at WOT, without a hitch (from what I have been told - my father checked the boat out and watched the Cambridge, MD race last year).

I raced with Augie in Algonac last year..we went into turn 1 w/Simmons on our starboard side..no more than 3' apart...unreal!...

actually I think it was pretty much the entire first lap!

that boat runs great!
