SUPERBASH

FAST(X)
Motor is on transom. I would start with 1 hole up from being all the way down( about a 3 1/4" center of bullet-bottom of pad with the motor flat trim, if the ground is level, I just measure uo to bullet, up to pad bottom, & subtract the diff). I have a 12" setback currently on the bottom hole (motor all the way down) & also I run on the 2nd hole. 3rd hole I get too much slip. (The setback makes a world of difference, handling, top end , planing & looks tuff). Compare rpm's to speeds(GPS) & you'll eventually get it right. An adjustable setback makes fine tuning much easier, especially if you don't have a hoist. Keep posting.

Two 300s Superbash??? Maybe on a 30'...
There is one over here in the CT river. Haven't met the guy yet, just seen him go blazing by at 90+ I'm sure...
I would think 1 300x would push your boat dam near 80mph...
80-85 is sick in a 24', but in a 30'...
Some day...

SUPERSTITIOUS

Hay superbash! give me a call on my cell when you have a chance. I'd like to talk props 203-240-1409. thanks!

SUPERBASH

superbash, i shot the lock off my wallet and ordered a stainless marine 12" mini setback.can this be mounted in the same holes that the motor was mounted?

SUPERBASH

YES! I know parting with the $$ is hard... But good investment. Do have enough play with your cables, steering(hydraulic?), wires. etc.? How'd you make out "prop testing". I'm sticking with the Trophy. Great all around.

Oh-Zone will be next...
Maybe I need an extension box for my I/O...

SUPERBASH

OH-ZONE has a setback... Pat... Maybe we can talk you into a bracket & an "X" motor one day???? One thing for sure, just think of all the extra storage space you"ll have!!! Honestly, I kinda kick myself in the ass for not thinking hard enough when I specked the boat(under the circumstances).If I hadda do it again, woulda went with the I/O layup and like a 30" fullwidth swimplatform/setback to hang the OB on. Maybe next life.

I though his engine was bolted to the transom.
I have only seen him from a distance at the Old Saybrook launch.
Hopefully I'll catch him out there this Summer...

After we sold our Cigarette, My wife made three demands for the next boat...
Cabin, Sun pad, and Swim platform.
