Zup, If I'm not mistaken I had lower slip numbers with a stock prop VS a labbed one. Are you seeing this?

Hey Faster, remember Zup has a Speedy #V drive.

So what about all the other Super fast 30s?
Will the Turbine boat and Huntington Beach boat be ready to challenge anytime soon?

Fast Eddie and PE run Hydro QIVs; JCap and Supersidious run Hyro P5X.
The P5X ran great on my 24 but not as fast as a B1.

I ran a QIV 29p on my Super. Unfortunately it must have been modified because it would not pull enough rpm. Felt like a 32 pitch. With that prop I did not like the trim available due to the increased stern lift. Offshore I think it would have been fine but in flatter water in Havasu it seemed to need more lift in the bow to get my rpm up. Although the prop did make the boat feel more solid than the Bravo1. Probably would be a great prop offshore.

That's what I run. I bought mine without the diffuser ring and labbed it for bow lift. In rough water I can spin it to 5900. Best prop so far.

Should have the prop back for the weekend. Probably go out one night next week to see if it works. Holiday weekends are not the best time for a safe run.

" I coulda been a contender " LOL Not to worry Mike, I think you'll finally get to the magic 100 mark. Can you borrow a Herring from someone ?

Hey Mike!

So i know you went to a speedy,(props are a ***** im sure) but what did you do with the mota? where is your hp at? sorry but i got alot of catching up to do
I run a p5x hydro got amazing holeshot and very strong top end but i was racing p-class at the time and ultimate top speed was not my goal, i needed handling and strong hole shot more than top end.my best top end was with a labbed bravo, a 32lefty hads me in low 90s but that was with a few more ponies than i have now, remember a detuned a little to supress my appetite for bravo xr-drives
so since this is the SB30 speed thread ,bring me up to speed ( pun intended ) Gary 800 hp? (I give your bravo about 5 hrs)Pure energy, is that the Falcon boat? i think i tested that boat with Bertel ( remember Bertel? the crazy german you still around Bert?) hottest y2k paint job! whats your power? speeds

Jim
