Kool-Aid Man 10-05-2010 11:46 AM

I've got 1990 TG...800's...Konrad Drives...Bravo 1 4bl 30pitch (non labbed)..5300rpm..83mph all day long in flat water and full tank of gas..best seen 86 in chop....rev limiter at 5800rpm so needless to say leaving a little on the table...haven't got around to really playing with the props yet but probably will be giving bblades a call.

Have enough bow lift...need to get that flat a$$ end out of the water

I'm pretty much the same speeds. 800's with wet sump #6's. I'm turning a 29 pitch 4-blade @6000.

82.7 on flat water last week with completely full tanks. Upper 80's in some chop and light on fuel. It's an adrenaline rush when that beeotch starts galloping in the chop. That's when the speeds get up there with these old, heavy pigs.

I'm right there with ya on that point!

Before all my upgrades I had TRS drives and roughly 550hp running three blade (forgot the pitch size) and best ever was 68mph
