DOC Holiday/want's to go Faster
Doc ,after talking to you ,I got to thinking about your props more,'
If, you want to turn the motors up to 5350 or 5,400 like you were talking ,we can do this ,actually ,I think it would be better to reduced the dia" and add 1" pitch to the prop with a little more cup in each prop.
Doc ,you know what you have to do.WRITE DOWN on the prop what it is turning for rpm and let me go after them,
How much, 50.00 for insurance and shipping back to you ,I will take care of the rest. It cant hurt and if I just totally screw them up
NOT
YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER SET.
Mark,WHAT PITCH ARE YOUR PROPS AGAIN it was never entered in the computer,as I remember you were one of the first that Trusted me.Thanks again Darin although after the thinning I thought both were running dead xut at5,300?

Now Darin, does anyone send you props for any other reason besides going faster?
I will double check my RPM's this weekend and get back in touch with you.
Would rather stay where I am then loose anything. How about getting on plane and so on?
Thanks for the call yesterday, will talk to you next week!

Well it was a Beautiful weekend on the lake.
I found my RPM problem, it was spark plugs.
Got 5300 RPM out of boat engines, and saw 73 MPH on the GPS speedo with the wife and I and 1/2 tank of fuel.
This is not our best speed ever but real close.
Think I will leave the props alone unless you can guarantee me more speed!

After all, who want their A$$ kicked by an entry level pontoon boat!
