CJ's was really running nice and his boat rides like a tank for a small boat. Awesome EM getting a great ride

BL Whats up?


Parnell

What's up stranger?!!! Me and Phil were just wondering how you and the wife are doing? Stop by the Wharf when you get a chance!

CJ

Way back when, my 20 had a 406 pushing a little over 400 HP and it topped out right around 75 @ 5200 running a tweaked 4 blade Hydromotive which really worked well in the day, compared to the Cleavers and Mirages, which was about all there was back then. (almost 25 years ago now) Anyway, I know Hydromotives back then ran even sized pitches and I'm pretty sure I was swinging a L24.

Not sure if this helps, but if you drop the pitch and you don't notice a quick change in rpm, check your fuel real quickly and ensure you're not starving it on top. I'm just kind of surprised you're not able to swing a 23 with that much power? I can't fathom you're not running a 1.5 gear, so something doesn't seem to be adding up.

Good luck!

Haha, yeah it does sound really good. I love to hear it idle as well. It just allllllmost sounds like it's going to die....pop pop pop pop

Hey guys ..... how do the 20 Cig. and the 22 Donzi compare ?

Has anyone pulled a 454 motor out of a 20 cig with TRS tranny? Very tight and was worried if there is enough room?

Rick
Glad to hear. I will be there so be safe and see you soon
