Clark, the stock 30's I was referring to was on the last boat.

But thanks for the rpm by rpm breakdown. Are you into props or something? And who is Joe? If he can lab a prop that does better at cruise than a stock prop I am all ears!

Waxed the boat today. Took me ALL DAY! Of course that included literally hours of time to stop what I was doing to answer all the questions about the boat.

I ran stock 30's on my 37 AT and they performed better than the stock 32's. I didn’t look at fuel but should of been better because of load. Joe is a friend who is on the board. The props I bought from him were made for his 03 Cig Top Gun. They are Phil Lipship special 32 lab's made by Mercury Racing. They have a special serial number if you want to make a copy. Wait until Mark reports on the Maximums he just had made. They are going to give you tremendous cruise with a respectable top end.

You can say I like props...

Oops, I meant labbed 30's.

Oh, I know who Joe is now. Yeah, I intend to get a full report from Mark Friday night at the poker run.

Right Mark?

Can you get any more info about these props?? Since I have a TG, I am very interested in what was done to them.
I have had mine "flat pitched" as recommended by Tres Martin and I gained a little bit. But I too "like props".

Bill,

I will get your the serial number when I get them back from Brett. They have some extra cup in the tip and good trailing edge for cruising. I need to work them a bit for my boat. Joe had his 03 TG doing 89mph with them. I saw 87 but I don’t think it is enough prop, might make them a 33 lab finish.
