I have stellings boxes, prop shafts are about 3" below the bottom of the boat. I usually run 32 bravo's, on a good day, I'm against the rev limiter. 3600 rpm's ='s about 52 mph. Have to baby it out of the hole. Tried a set of 32 maximus 5 blades, came right out of the hole, no blow out. :D 3600 rpm ='s 62 mph. :D Would only turn up to 4800 rpm on top. Top speed was about the same.. I'm pretty convinced that these 5 blades could be ran up higher, but don't know if the rpm's will come up enough, may have to go to 30's I think the 5 blades and the 2" shorties would be worth a couple mph up top. Now, just need to find a set of shorties. |

Have a friend that built up a 36 outlaw. It was a 2001 model with 502's. They made 509's and Whipple charged them (850 HP). I thought he had 2 inch shorties on it and have posted that before, but I was wrong. They were 1 inch shorties, IMCO Extremes. The boat ran very well (92 GPS) and handled well. He was pleased with it, but it did not run triple digits and he bought a cat. There was a thread not long ago where a guy tried 2 inch shorties and could not get on plane. Personally I would add extension boxes with the shorties. I think that is the way to go with these boats from what I have learned. Hope this helps a little. Dock Dock, How is my buddy Kieth doing anyways ?? Do you have a number for him. If so pm it to me or give him mine. I havent talked with him in along time. I lost his number with my old phone Bob 518 361-6521 |

Re: 1" shorter drives on a 36 Outlaw
I need some advice. I have a 87 320 that I raised the x on 3" I'm running 4 blade bravo's 24 pitch, I get on plane fine and the boat runs ok but I fell like I'm lacking in speed. It seems as if I'm not hooking up at WOT.
Would a set of Imco nuetral boxes help get clean water to the props to get the boat to hookup better and get some of the speed back? Or should I notch the transom 8 to 10" to get the clean water back to the props? Any thoughts would be greatly appriciated!!! |
