Was that on a sportmaster foot? How big and did it look like a whale tail.

His 38TS would get on plane it just would labor doing it,he would go up to 4000

On Sportmasters...and it looks fine..not out of place or like a whale tail. Kevin used to have blow out problems as well...his x is a little high as the boat was built originally for speed (105mph naturally aspirated motors). He also runs Merc lab 32's.

Now with the change no issues at all getting it up on plane.

Call Phil and ask him what he recently did to Kevin's boat....

An old racers trick that may help here. We had 38 foot boats that had all the weight in the rear of the boat, engines, drives, saddle tanks etc and we were loaded with fuel at the start of a race, my boat held 540 gallons.

So, to get on plane we would rock the boats from side to side, like an exagerrated slow motion chine walk and at some point, with the throttles way up, the boat began to "believe" it was a flat bottom...... and start to get on plane on one side of the vee....once we had some speed up, we just flipped it right side up and took off for the start.

Well he found some numbers on the prop,still no name, it has
11980
09 32 06
I am assuming its a 32 700 rpm off, I loaned him some 30 4bd bravos,Ill find out to day how they worked.


My thinging being a 5blade that 200rpm and 2 prop sizes is 200rpm,with that Im thinging 28pt to get to 5200rpm????

Thanks

Hey Rob what about your other issues:rolleyes::evilb::evilb:

lol, no others, the boat runs like a dream, redoing the drives after 475 some hours, so I must have done something right in the past 4 years :D

The props were borrowed , not sure why the rings were removed.
