Don't forget the camera! Not that I don't already have many pictures of the boat from Formula. It just seems like a real boat know that someone owns it. Have fun.

So did you drag that thing to the water or are you still studying it?

Sorry to hear about the troubles Takes some of the fun out of a new boat. Dosen't sound like anything that cannot be fixed.

I am curious what kind of slip numbers you were getting versus what you expected ?

WOW....25% does seem high. What props and drive ratios are on the 382 ?

This whole thing of prop slip is of a lot of interest to me. My boat weighs 10,500 - 11,500 depending on fuel, water, people etc. With a set of stock 32's, I range from 13% to 17% slip. I know that "labbing" the props will increase the slip numbers, but will also increase the speed.

Just curious what you are experiencing relative to my experience.
