Re: Question about 353
Screw the donzi talk and get to the original question.
I have a 382 and I also feel that I need more bow lift at full speed.
The 382 carries the bow fine in the mid range, but at 80+ I feel that it is too low. The prop slip numbers support this theory.
As we put more power to these boats and want to add more pitch we also add stern lift.
Adding pitch and or more blades will lift the stern making the bow drop.
Try running the props inward to see if this gives more bow lift, it worked for me with the 5 blade props.

Motors were 8 PSI Procharged 500's but are going back to N/A 540's this winter. Was spinning 4 blade 34's but willl probably be spinning 30's with about 625HP when finished. Hopefully I will carry the bow close to how it was before.

Re: Question about 353
Every 382 I know of is 1.50. There is no 2.00 Bravo 1. You may be thinking of a Bravo 3,available in 2.00,but no 382's ever had B3's.
