T/S Tiger Speeds
 

What speed are you getting out of your T/S Tigers ? List props, drives and ratios and engine horsepower.
Mine is a 2002 with 2 different props at the moment, 4 blade standard 34P and labbed 34P with 2 blades reshaped. Drives are Imco Extreme SC´s with 1.5 ratio. Engines are KE 675´s Not wanting to put uneven strain on the engines I have only run 85 MPH so far whith plenty throttle left. I have 4 blade 32P props on the way and I hope for low 90´s. I will let you know when I have tested the new props.

Wow not a single reply ! Are all the TS owners in wintermode already ?

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

I know with 500EFI's they run close to 80 mph.

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

Your boat and mills look stunning Jesper. You should be very proud. :cool:

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

Hi GL,

I have seen posted speeds up to 83 MPH with 500 EFI´s I am just currious about what gains can be made with different props : Labbed 3,4,5,6 blades. If everybody post their data it will make it easier for somebody shopping for new props for their Tiger. I should get my 32P tomorrow and will test them this week/Weekend. I will post my findings here.

I realise that all boats are a little different but the info can be used as a pointer in the right direction.

I know that Endangered Species run 99,6 MPH with 6 blades, with twin 750-800 NA engines.

Niel,

Thanks for the comopliment ! I am very pleased !
How is your Tiger running ? Are you hauling all those nice Cigs down to Key West this year (GL, Pete and yours) ?

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

My 35' TS with 500 efi's will only hit 84 so it seems unlikely a tiger would do 83

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

Whats your cabin?

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

You should be. :cool:



A trip to Key West with the rigs would be incredible, however my motors are out and being rebuilt as we speak. Another local gentleman is heading down with his 38 Fountain, and Gl of course. It would be incredible at some point to get a caravan of rigs to make the trek.

Will you and your better half be attending?

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

Not this year, the piggy bank is a little broke at the moment so we will have to shoot for next year instead. I am counting on you guys for a full repport ! :D :D :D

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

You got it. And we should have plenty of pics. We're bringing our professional photographer. :D :drink:

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

Jesper, This is what my rig sounded like before the rebuilds! :cool: :cool: Should be even better after....

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds

I think the kids are calling that the Extended Covergirl.... :D :D

Re: T/S Tiger Speeds
 

Went prop testing today with the 32´s and got 92 mph easy. With a little more testing and trimming I am sure it has a few miles more in it. Since it was my first time over 85 mph I diden´t want to push it too far on this run. I am very happy so far but I guess testing is now gonna have to wait till spring 2006 :(
