I have a '98 running running an injected 555cu. In glass smooth water i get a very slight porpoise at about 55-58 mph. You can eliminate this by actually trimming up the drive slightly, or barely dropping the tabs in the water. I usually trim up slightly and let it slip a little and it goes away. Boat loves to cruise in the 70 - 75 range. Running stock drive height XR and a labbed 30 or 32 bravo 4 blade. Personally, i cant stand the way my boat handles with a hydro (my 2 cents worth) but Gordo used to run one I think. Day in and day out, seems like the Tantrums like the 4 blades and NOTHING under 30ft will touch that boat in rough water. I am selling and moving up to a 37' but dang that 25 is fun :) If you still want some measurements, let me know.

Ok here come the questions, whats you x dimension, your speeds,slip %,hp,rpm,is your bottom true or slight hook/rocker. A 32 is a big prop for a 24 flat bottom. I need to know if i should start sanding or not,lol....thanks for any info you'll give up.

Poker&Run, what is your prop depth? bottom of the boat to center of your propshaft with the drive neutral. And all that other crap Carrera said, plus top speed.

On the way back from Destin Poker Run. I will be happy to get you some measurements in the morning.

Active Thunder has a whole new meaning. We got caught out in the storm Friday during the Fun Run. Terrible electrical storm on the back side of the rain. Got in the cuddy, no more than shut the door, and lightning hit the stern light. Burned the top 4 inches off the pole. No damage to boat other than it zapped the ECM. We were very fortunate.

Isn't the name THUNDERSTRUCK already taken?? :lolhit:
