She is being well taken care and running real good. Running 3500-3800 rpm I can normally get around 160 miles... tanks will be at half which means get to the gas pumps. As Macklin said, the hydro 5 blades are real nice..great cruise, easy to get on plane.

Everyone is welcome, Dan. Its the Internets. Your "notoriety" is largely based in your own cerebrum.

How's the cruising speed with hydro 5 blades vs the 32 Bravos? What about labbed Max's? Is 60 mph @ 3500 rpm a possiblity?

60 mph with my 32s is about 3700-3800 rpm.

Not a chance. And despite what you might think, that is the truth. You had an AT once and you've moved on. But at the end of the day you are still a fellow boater and on the dock we are all the same.

Not too shabby. I would think 5 blades would drop the rpm a little lower too. I spend 90% of my time under 4000 rpm, really want to be able to cruise 55 - 60 at fairly low rpm in the next boat.

Shakespeare, just say you're a dick or something I can understand. I realize you're so much better than me no need to show off.

Thing is, I don't think you are a dick. I think you take things a bit too seriously. Remember, YOU are the one with the problem, not me. If you think that is "showing off," so be it.

I had some issues getting on plane in the rough with these props. Plus I have always preferred stock props for their durability and bite. That's why I stuck with the stock Bravo 32's until I decided to buy the Hydromotives...the year I sold it.

funny how you always have 5 blades on for sea trials, but the boats you sell usually have Bravos on them. :)

Wow, that is good...I know I don't get close to that with the 5 blades at 3800.
