Eric, that's hauling azz in that Apache!!!

Did the new props help with the mid-range porpoise?

Porpoise
 
The boat is so much better. The negitve trim changes the boat a lot now. Rough water its verry good. Does not stand up like it did before.Best money i ever spent. Thanks for some advice from BRET from BBLADES.

Today Star Chaser went 110.7mph with more than 100 gallons of fuel on board.

That is awesome. Glad to hear the apaches are putting out some big numbers. Nothing like an apache. We are rebuilding our motors now, they were down on power and tired

Just saw this, we restored this boat in the 1990s :coolcowboy: We did it for Bobby Witko of Wits End fame.

The boat handles great over a hundred the drives where trimmed very high to get the last couple mph out to get 110.7. So it was pretty loose. I have hade the boat at 105 in some 2 and 3 ft seas very predictable with the new 5 blade props.
