Curts boat running dry sump 6s also do you no what gear ratio

cougarman

Mitch Joppich 38' 1.62 ratio WETsump

Curt Ganos 38' 1.62 ratio also,.........not sure if Curts is Wet or dry?

Dan Adams or Nautikitty would know for sure.

Nautkitty ( Parnell ) also ran the 1.62 in his 41' Saber
and Curt and Parnell ran together alot.

All these boats are maintained, wrenched on or stored at the same camp,
See a pattern with the gear ratio? It Works! Pretty tight group of enthusiast.

Besides you'll do more boating in mid range than top end
so why not have a gear that gives you the acceleration factor?

Thanks

I'm running that setup as well. It does pull hard in the mid-range!

BLee

Thanks for the additional pics man

I'm pretty sure Curt's is wet sump.

Just curious what speeds/rpm range your calling the mid-range...

by the way my windshield turned out pretty good....

cougarman

Not sure of Oldschools power or speeds.

But Curts and Mitchs both in the 90s with with 1.62 ratio
and Parnells 41 Saber im pretty sure was a touch over tripple
digits with the same gear..

So anything from normal cruising, ............pulling right up
to WOT is going to pull very hard and very quick with this gear ratio.

The 1.62 acts as a torque multiplier,.....so it adds a nice adrenaline
factor to it when you pushing on the sticks.

3500 puts me at about 52 mph, 4000 is right at 60.....and 6000 puts me in the 83-85 range with 29 pitch props.

Good to hear about the windshield. The template worked OK?

When I first got my boat, it had twin 1240HPs and ran 112. I ran it like that for the first year....then moved down to something a little more wallet friendly (big CI naturals). I'm sure that I'll move back up close to 1000's in a few years. It's paid for and I'll have it forever.

What power is Curt running. I think that I remember it being 950 Chiefs??? Mid 90's for speeds?

BLee

That's right. It usually gets up to 88-90 pretty fast. Then he can feather it on up a little more from there.

OldSchool

Seems about right. Mine will run 80 anytime. 100 degrees, high humidity, full of fuel and flat water. Getting more takes optimal conditions and some driving. Best ever with my current power is 87.1....but that was on fumes, with the current, tailwind, no cooler, a two foot chop and solar flareups to affect the GPS.

By the way Brandon, Congrats. Did you get the email that I sent you last week?
