Spill it Craig!!

Ahhh, the old Hawkrace boat. Was at a local marina by me for a few years. Boat always was kept immaculate and the owner only ran it a few times and took it easy.

What size bravos where you running? I just picked up a gladiator out of the classifieds with na 700's built by Brad Smith and I am having a tough time getting the boat to 90. Although I have had very little seat time in the boat I had hoped it could have broken 90 by now.

Post pics!

Something's not right. My 525 Gladiator ran 96 in saltwater after doing the whipple reflash and turning the rev limiter up.

I can't remember what 4 blade Bravo props i had on it, I sold the boat in 07'. You can call Phil and he can suggest what would be a good starting point. You can also try five or six blade herrings. Is your boat a side by side or staggered engine setup?

yes i heard that... still not buying it. not that it matters.

It's a side by side

i know your boat..... mine is of he same set up. it needs a spacer and spin 4 blade b1's in. if you get serious, you may see a bit more speed with herings. give tres a call for that set up... and i'm sure he'll send you the right props.

you'll see a world of difference. it might sound wrong lowering the props and picking up handling and speed.... but, try it. set up came from tres and worked perfectly on mine - faster and completely hooked up.
