Turn em in anyone?
 
i have a 38 top gun 2003. Anybody ever try turning props in? more speed-handling?

Rob(offshoredrillin) did that to his 42 Tiger this past summer, has some good speed increase!! Im sure he will chime in to tell you the results!

yep got 3 mph out of it, handling is the same, turning in provided the bow lift I needed. however mine is a straight hull. check with lipship or Tres martin as to the pros and cons of it with a step hull.

I just switched them first to see if I would like it, then when i did I had the cables changed.

no never tried that, did not want to go thru the hassel of switching the cables around.

Okay I don't want to hi jack your thread but I am wondering if I could benefit from turning them in. 93 Cafe running 26 labbed props boat runs 78-79mph. Would love to get 80 on GPS. What is the downside? I would imagine docking?

I had a 35' mistress, no notch. Konrad Drives. By spinning in I gained 4-5 miles an hour. The docking was an issue and I new I didn't buy the boat to be the fastest. It ran an honest 75 all the time spinning out. Ran 78-79 spinning in.

If you are only chasing one mile an hour, I would talk to BBlades and see what they can do for you. You say you have labbed props, but Brett seems to be able to squeeze 1 or 2 MPH when you want to get it done. Also depending on x dimension, maybe you can put shorties on. Sometimes, Cigarette is conservative with the X dimension.

Good luck
