272 sr1 cover
 

Hello im new to this site and still trying to figure out how to use this site. i got a 87 272 sr1 and ive been looking everywhere for a cockpit cover for it new used dont matter. also looking for any info on what prop to run on it just recently bought a counter rotation drive i appreciate any help. thanks alot!

Welcome aboard, Great boat,,, as far as cover's, find a local guy and get one made, where you located? you can also try a few places on the web for a full cover, sure someone will chime in I think iboats does it and a few others, post some pics!

With the cover... I agree. Find a local. It will not be cheap. But you get what you pay for, I have a full cover from AmeriBrand I think.... nice cover good quality. Not real cheap.

Prop wise, I would start with Mirage 23's. That is most likely what the boat started with, Good call with the counter rotating drive. When I have to replace a drive that is my plan.

Thanks! i got a full cover for it but i keep the boat in the water and use it pretty much everyday so it kinda sucks covering and uncovering so i figured a cockpit one would be great. im located in lake hopactcong nj. i just got the boat last year and it has brand new vortec 350s rated at 335hp i gps 65 and it has 19p on it now but it will spin 5500 rpm lol and gets up on plane instantly so im very confused about what props to pick! thanks for the input!

I would defiantly go with a higher pitch prop. It may take a little longer to plane but will drop the rpm's and should give you some more speed.

I'd start with 21 mirage + and go from there, are there any amish nearbye?

I'd try a set of Hydromotive QIV's around 23-24 pitch. I'm running them on my 292 and like them a lot. As to the top, like everyone said call around. I need to have one made as well, I've got prices from $600 to $1000. All were made from Sunbrella, I did my research and the $600 shop has excellent reviews. Price isn't always an indicator of the quality. The $1000 price was from a guy I had do work in the past and when I picked up the cover/boat my boat was full of water and full of sand. I was mad as hell.

Your getting 65mph on gps out of a 19 pitch @ 5500 ?

Thanks for all the info guys i guess ill be looking for some 23p props because i dont really care how quick it gets on plane. and yes garmin gps 64 with the motors screaming at 5500 thats with the vortec motors 335hp

i heard this kid with a donzi is gunnin for ya tommy gunz:evilb:
