Anyone with a 36 calculate your prop slip?
 

Just curious what other 36's are doing for prop slip.

Re: Anyone with a 36 calculate your prop slip?
 

Oh and will you put what props your using, rpms, and speed.

thanks-

Re: Anyone with a 36 calculate your prop slip?
 

my guess, as I don't own one would be 14-16%. But what do I know??? :D
And to hi-jack your thread how about the Lake Travis Run?? Baja only??

Re: Anyone with a 36 calculate your prop slip?
 

Mine is terrible in my opinion at 18.7%.

I actually went up with the props I ran last year and was talking with Tom at Hydromotive yesterday and he said that 16-18% was not that bad for a true deep vee. He also said that people focus too much on prop slip.

We are working on the hull a little this year and taking the A/C intake off that I know if costing me a lot.

I'm going to also try out a new pair of Hydromotive P5X and see what happens.

What are you getting for numbers?

Mine's not exactly a 36, but I thought it would be fun to post...
I have a 370 Force. Weighing in around 10,000# (including the generator, hot water tank, TV, Microwave, Coffee pot, etc...)
454's at Approx. 525hp
Offshore Performance 23 P 14 1/4" diameter
1.5 Gear ration
5100 RPM at WOT
Theoretical speed is 74 MPH, actual is 61 MPH
Prop slip 18%

Yes it is a baja only. the ski dock puts in on, which is the local baja dealer.

I seem to be in the 15-16% range. let me know how the 5 blades work.

I bought a pair of 26p bravo 1's from Baja36ft that have been labbed by throttle up. I tried them, but spun the hub while i was out. I hit 71mph before i spun it, with 6 people and 3/4 tank of gas.

Im getting the heads ported and milled along with a valve job and cometic head gaskets. Im hoping to hit 74, just running some slip numbers to see if it was possible.

71MPH WITH 6 PEOPLE AND 3/4 TANK OF FUEL IS PRETTY
GOOD WITH MY 36 I DID 74.8 BEFORE MOTOR WORK.
I USE 27 OR 28 PITCH HYDROMOTIVE'S NOW AND DOING
77 TO 80 DEPENDING ON LOAD AND CONDITIONS.
SORRY TO HERE ABOUT THE HUB.DID YOU TRY SPINNING THEM IN?

Re: Anyone with a 36 calculate your prop slip?
 

dont worry about the hub. i didnt even think to check em. They are spinning in now. I would be happy with 74 with a light load and 2 people. I think thats doable.

Re: Anyone with a 36 calculate your prop slip?
 

You Spin Them In Now?? I Thought I Was The Only One
That Did That On A Baja Most People Don't Like Them
Spinning In
