I was about to send to cutting edge then I got promoted complete w/ raise and bonus so I decided I deserved it :-)
Also, I had already talked to Brett several times via phone and pm's after I tried different props and was to lazy to go search my posts for my #s while Brett had them already. Either way, we can swap test info after done :-)

so are you laying Vynal grafics just over the old? the white is just the factory gel?

also What props are you having tweaked... Any word what 27P 3 blades will do on our hulls?

Correct.. I buffed the hull with "Presta" and it looks awesome, then washed and then wiped down with alcohol before applying vinyl graphics over in gel stripes and line. I also alternated stripes coming down and extended them to the bottom. Still have to do above the rub rail in the back to extend up which should look great... work in progress


I sent the 24B1's I had traded out of the 25p m+'s. 4 blades feel a lot better and don't blow out around turns. Brett should be calling me soon to discuss, but tested the 24's and ran solid 64 with 1/2 fuel and me and end of summer.

Cruised at 3700 at 49 so if I can get 50mph back at 35-3600 and any gains on top would be the goal.
I had a bent blade that was slipping about 200 more throughout range so I need that fixed anyway and need about 150 to 200 rpms to get to 5k on top and trimmed the f&^k out. Still just over 10% slip and that was when I had to manipulate throttles to get in sync so I should be in good shape.

I had 9.7% slip with the M+'s but couldn't push them in summer heat.

To help with heat, I also added a blower to suck from the midship vent and blowing over the K/N intakes I put on and also fixed my exhaust blowers as they were shooting up against the sunpad and probably recirculating that hot air back in b/c the intakes are on side of each exhaust and the grill were broke and should have been directed back instead of up where the sunpad covers them. Fixed all of that so I am ready to see if it helped.

Hopefully, I can finish my graphics this weekend if the rain stays away!
