Looks great!

Fun Run, Put In Bay, and possibly Kelleys? Sounds more like liver testing to me! :drink:

Definately IMCO can't tell from pics if they're -2 shorties or not, but I can verify with 700+ HP a 25OL likes the -2 shorty...

They are Imco -2 shorties and the boat loves them. I ran a set of 28 labbed props I bought off Dock Holiday last year. I had only run them once but I tore them up on a chain from a marker buoy leaving a marina. This morning I hammered them out and took a grinder to them. The boat ran 84.7 with tables down to 4 and drives trimmed about 3/4 of normal speed run height. I had my family with me and did not want to air it out. The control of the boat at speed has improved 2 fold along with the attitude of the boat going through the ruff.

How much HP are you running? I've been thinking of trying -2 shorties on my 35 with 525's.

Glad to hear everything went well. Next time just tell Scott that you will drive.

I am running custom 670 HP engines. My drives from Baja were set at 7 1/2 below the boat causing a lot of drag and may not help you. Check yours and see if anybody else has tried them on your hull. I think Doc tried them without success on his 36.

Brian,

Very happy to see you have her finished and she is working well. I did not know you were a prop repair guy!:evilb:

When it comes to shorties it is all about horsepower. With a stock setup you will not be happy. Add a few 100 HP and it is a different ball game.

Doc
