His has a mild hop with the 4 blades and a significant hop with 5 blades. Any combination of tab or drive adjustments to eliminate the hop slows it down. But the hop is also slowing it down. Frustrating.

Any new updates? Did you ever find the right prop? I happen to be one of the 33's out on Monday last year.

Hopefully it will pick up a bit more speed once BRAD SMITH gets the motors tuned properly.[/QUOTE]
Excellent choice! |

As long as the prop shaft is around 4 inches +/- .25 inch it is fine. But I can guarantee he needs labbed props from Brett. At that prop height the cup makes all the difference in the world. My boat wouldnt hit 80 with stock bravo 1's and 600 HP and now the hull airs out gets loose and runs over 85 and feels ten times better. |

Brad told the owner at the time he would like to adjust some things after the boat got a few hours on it and the plan was for him to come to Illinois last summer and do final tweaks. I think after the Joplin tornado the owner was hesitant to bother Brad. I think the plan this year is for the owner and Brad to meet up in LOTO for a final tune. I still think the setup with the boxes may not be quite right from the factory.

What are his speed numbers lately? Running correctly?
|
I believe he hit a best of 82 with the new props. Runs much less flat now but I believe it should still carry the bow a bit higher. He is supposed to hook up with Brad Smith this spring for some tuning as it runs way too rich IMO. Headers have no O2 bungs so I'm guessing Brad loaded up a rich tune for the break-in and now has a leaner tune he loads up after the motors gets some hours on them.
