So does anyone think you can get the 32 with 300XS's to run 100 every now and then? The one at Ocean Outboard has run a best 102 but it was perfect conditions and took a while to get there. Might add that we dont boat on lakes or rivers!! We really like the 32B with the 300XS's cause its such a big boat but havnt been for a ride in one yet. Im thinking with alot of prop testing/build with people like BBlades, Throttle Up, and Hering you could get the boat to 100 with or without 3 blades stressing on the lowers.

What is dan running on loan shark? 300xs or 300x?

stainless

using your gear ratio and 6300 rpm with 32 pitch props and 10%
prop slip the speed is 106 mph according to mercs prop slip calculator.
Remember, a cut down flat deck should be more aerodynamic than a standard tall deck boat.

XS's I believe Steve.

stainless

Yes I do!

stainless

last i talked to him, he was waiting for 36's from bblades because he was on the limiters with his 34's running about
110 +??
maybe dan could chime in here and give us some feedback?

But the DW is quite a bit faster

stainless

Im thinking its about 7 mph faster. So if he was running 110 with the DW, 103 should be doable with the 32 skater.

There is no way that boat would turn 32p props to 6300 rpm. With 30 to 31 pitch props it might turn 6000 rpm.

You know this how?? Have you run a flat deck 32 skater ob?
What do I know, I only played with props ,heights, gear ratios, spinning in vs out , etc. for 2 years with mine?
