38s with #6s
I'm curious how well a 38 handles #6s and a little power with the side by side setup?
|
Morning Smoke (black and red from NJ) was a bad ass machine |
Yeah we did a handful of FPC runs with him. I believe it had Cobra power in the 1200 range. I guess I couldn't keep up to see how it handled. lol

I rode on Mitch's 38 800N/A converted to #6s and it rides amazing at 100mph, fun, fast, stable and eats the rough. (White with red and blue American flag)
Also rode many times on and drove Dan's 38 (purple) 900 Sterling's and 6s from the factory and it runs amazing and is a blast in the rough water. He did add spacers to the drives but his engines and drives were mounted extremely high, and the blower hatch is super heavy so yeah maybe at 120 it might have not been the best but it also had the original props on it from day one. I believe that boat could be dialed in to run even better but at 105mph its awesome. I have video Kristy still needs nto edit that shows how badazz his boat was! I really can't say enough good about the 38s with 6s, and just remember prop technology has advanced and knowledge of how to set up boats better with more time so if you did happen to buy something I feel confident you could make it run 100+ on rails with a little dialing in. |
Check out Kyle Lewis video on Facebook from riding with me this weekend in Hot For Teacher. 38 TG with big power & #6s handle amazing. |
check out zeropatience's (Jim Kirk) threads on the conversion he and a friend did on his friends boat Peer Pressure 90 MPH model from #5s to #6s.....

Thanks for the replies and yeah I've always been a fan of Hot for Teacher :cool:
