WickedOne has a full length hull with no notch in the transom, so you can't really compare the two. Thanks for the info though. There are a several of us that has a similar set-up that are comparing notes and trying different combinations. I'll keep you posted on the results. Ya'll have a great weekend :drink:

Robert,

Jerry's Saber has the notch and extension boxes. You also have to remember that prop technology has changed so much since a lot of people have tried this. I know Jerry now has his boat pretty dialed in. It did not handle well with Jim's 6 blade herrings but handles real good with 4 blade mercs.

Dan,

What center line did Jerry end up running on the new staggered?

Thanks

Steve,

Your right they were 5 blades, I mistyped. I know he is eagerly awaiting the new wheels. He said Allez Vite was looking sweet.

Hi Dan, look forward to seeing you on the water next summer. We will be at one of Rodgers gatherings next year. Them 5 blades Jerry was running were real sharp, we pulled them off when I picked her up to come north for the winter. Take care,Steve.
