Re: first 3 pictures
 

cosmic,

I live in newburgh about 3.5 hours away. However, I have a friend coming up that way to look at a boat and I will be joining him, maybe we could hook up that weekend. It would be great to check it out. I have been talking with Pat for 2 years about getting into a 28. Hopefully next year.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

let me know when, if its warm enough we could go for a test beat. whats your friend looking for?

Re: first 3 pictures
 

I'm west of Philadelphia......used to have relatives in Saratoga Springs NY....actually still do but she will be moving down here in a few months. Are you going to make it to the NYC poker run on the Hudson? I try to make it every year. Good luck with the boat and don't forget the pics!! :cool:

Re: first 3 pictures
 

The Corsa Captain's Call fit 100% perfectly!

Re: first 3 pictures
 

You weren't doubting yourself were you?

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Pat, I see no ITS on this one, what results have you seen on the 37 with ITS transom?

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Good question. Never have done one. We used a Stelling box with a 12" setback on one but no real noticeable increase in speed. I wasn't thrilled with the handling either. I should add, however, that the step was at a 5" height. Through testing we have it down at 4" for all of the current models so it may be a different animal.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Pat,

What is the best number to reach you on. I want to discuss a boat. I left a message on the number on the website twice. Please advise.

Clark
713.540.0171

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Clark,

And I did get both messages and have your numbers on my desk.

My cell is best: 954-658-4972.

Call me tomorrow, Pat

Re: first 3 pictures
 

He must know what your desk looks like.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

which desk would that be?

Re: first 3 pictures
 

You know what, I'm taking a picture of it tomorrow and posting it here so you can feel my pain.... :eek:

Re: first 3 pictures
 

which one? :rolleyes:

Re: first 3 pictures
 

The one I hang my hat on. So go ahead, which hat? :D

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Pat,
great paint work luv it almost as much as the one you sold Frank M, you know he never knew it was two differnt boats ( depending on which side you look at) till we told him... it sat on a lift so he never looked.

cool as h*ll paint

Re: first 3 pictures
 

now now. we all know you run between desks all day{ or shops} but i never saw a hat :drink: thanks for the fax came through perfect

Re: first 3 pictures
 

We will let you know in about a month or so, right Pat... :D

Re: first 3 pictures
 

How much higher are you putting the X dimension with the ITS above normal height? Are you thinking 90 MPH could be a reality with the 525's on ITS??

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Thump, Thump, Thump!! :D :drink:

Re: first 3 pictures
 

If I've gotta put quarters anywhere to see pictures, I'm gonna be pisst....

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Mercruiser Hi-perf tech says an inch. That's what we did on the 28. Any thoughts? I'm sure they are conservative, of course.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

I'd ask for another Fitty cent, but I didn't take any pics that aren't already posted.

Looks like I'll have to come back down in a couple of weeks. :D

Re: first 3 pictures
 

still to cold and rainy to get the 28 out for pics, maybe this week end . Pat you wont need any quarters . 33 is looking good when we gona see some paint?

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Graphic design is done, waiting for the final revision. It will not be missed out on the water. :D

Re: first 3 pictures
 

OK sun is out stopped raining qucik pics.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Looks great!!

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Congrats and paint is killer.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Inch sminch...
Raise it another 2"

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Ooops, you just drug yourself into this testing!

Ok, Gordo, here's the data. Boat for boat. One with an ITS and one with standard Bravo. Both stock out-of-the-box, 26 4-bladded bravos.

non-ITS: 74/5 at 5400 with 18" X no-notched transom
ITS: 72 at 5000 with 19" X no notched transom

Going to send a Labbed 26 for the extra RPMs which brings the speed back. Diameter change?

I figured a 2-3 mph increase with the box.

Only other unmentioned change: Corsa Full-time mufflers. They claim no HP loss.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

I love it.
Ok, I'll take a stab at it from the hip...

Maybe at 2900 RPM. But I can't believe they don't restrict at WFO.
As for the issue at hand, I still say you needed to go up another 1" to 1.5"
How did it plane off with and without the ITS?

Re: first 3 pictures
 

It was already too high based on the numbers and the way it came on plane. That was why the 1".

You KNOW I'm not conservative with the X. :D

It would be interesting to slap on some 4" tubes and see the difference, wouldn't it?

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Pat,

Are those #'s for the 28 Savage?

Derek

Re: first 3 pictures
 

So far. But a new configuration with the drive and also the first one we've ever built with full time mufflers.

I never knew that NY had a crazy law that makes switchable illegal. :eek:

Re: first 3 pictures
 

Pat, NH has the same law. It's probably more wide spread than you think.

So we need the trick switch installed. Forgot all about that.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

AAAAAhhhh, the 'trick' switch. Good tip.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

We have the same law here in Indiana but you don't see me running around with mufflers. I have the Teague 450 tips and I just try not to switch them off with my tail end facing the water patrol.
One last thing, I would have to agree with Pat when he said he's not real conservative with the X. :evilb: :D

Re: first 3 pictures
 

I wonder how the insurance on a 28 is?

Re: first 3 pictures
 

I looked into last year. Statefarm full coverage $850 with the 525. Boating on Hudson River including New York Harbor, Outside of Harbor(Ocean) $1500.

Re: first 3 pictures
 

That sounds about right. You would think outside of traffic areas and obstacles would actually be less.

Of course this is applied logic probably not statistical.
