We’ll back to the topgun. Coming down the home stretch all the logos are on the boat. They made some really nice hatch alignment things that when it closes it won’t shift or move when your running it’s transom painted rear of boat ready should be final color tomorrow. Then there going to move it to rig shop for cleats/rubrail/and hatches. It’s almost time to pick it up and start the final portion.. very excited

I’ll get some this week. I want the hatch atleast 1/2 clearance all the way around I don’t want it to rub anywhere. Once it’s home in my shop I plan on posting a ton of pics !!!!

Ok have some prop questions. So my boat ran very well on 5 blade 28s regular b1 props. Know that was before all the cabin delete and adding about 150hp per engine. So was thinking about starting trials with 30p 5 blades. Does hering make a prop that works on a Konrad. I believe the konrads uses bravo one style prop. I read somewhere hering made some props for bravo drive and straight bottoms run well with them any thoughts or input appreciated

Thanks !!! Keep the thoughts coming not looking for the absolute fasted last .1 mph. It looking for good plaining and cruise. The 5 blade prop definitely had better cruise over the 4 blade same top speed. I know the straight bottoms are kinda a different

I would use your 28" 5 blades that you have to get a baseline and then go from there.
That being said, it would not hurt to look for a few sets of different test props that that might work.
Pretty sure a lot of the new Merc props are still very hard to find in stock anywhere.
Every time I read anything about Herrings, its pretty much the same thing. Faster on the top end, but much harder to get on plane.
