He got a new set of labbed 30" Bravo I 4-blades with the infamous "Baja cup" and ran 82 a couple weeks ago. Motors need to be put on the laptop again and tweaked as it runs way too rich. The new props have picked the nose up a bit but it still runs way too flat IMO. Hopefully it will pick up a bit more speed once Brad Smith gets the motors tuned properly.

Excellent choice![/QUOTE]Brad built the motors last spring. They only got a short tuning session on Grand Lake last year (on top of the dyno tuning) before the boat returned to Illinois. 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.

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.

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.
