37 AT with KE 675 and IMCO
 
I remember some one having a AT built with this set up and just wanted to see how it was running. I know on my next boat I want that same drive and power, also the AT's look really sweet. Appreciate input.

Radio Active, The boat is still being built, and hopefully in about two weeks I can post the results. Dans boat ran with sportmaster drives, at lake x in no chop and fresh water at 102, so that is a reference point to go off of, I will keep everyone posted, thanks

Jeff,

you forgot that I still had 200 rpms left, and we all know that those KE increase in power across the entire rpm band.....

what do u mean u had 200 rpms left???...u did not run them at wot???...so u did a part throttle pass at 102??

Joe,

Best pass was 102 at the Lake with 34 lab Bravo I but they were a bit too large and the 32lab were a bit too small. Kind of like the 3 little bears.:D We could only spin the 34 to 5300rpms and the KE rev limiters are set at 5500. We are having some hering 5 bladers made up so we will see......:D :D

the 5's may work out for ya.which version r they???...my guess is not for top end #'s....i don't understand,,,,that's why u goto lake x ,,to dial in props to the boat...not to use off the shelf stuff. u have killer ride man!!!

Joe,

Thanks for the compliement. I really wanted to go to the lake to try out the sportmaster lowers. I am really stuck between prop sizes and the lake only had the 32 and the 34's. We tested the hering 5 blades prior to the lake and the boat handled amazing with them. I really need a pair of worked 34 to get the proper rpms if I stayed with the four blades.

I will have to check on which version props Pat ordered for me. I did not even know there was more than one version? We gave all of the test data to hering and they are building the pair for me.

I would only use the 4 blades for all out speed if I was doing a radar shootout or something like that. The handling and the increased planing time with the 5 blades are worth what ever if anything I will give up on top end.
