No, basically everytime you got into boost the prop blew out....yeah it was like excessive stern lift.
All I know is I fully understand the term "black magic" when it comes to props and prop matching on boats.

Toolman - did you ever buy a boat??

Check the 1990 - the 271 to buy, 2 500's, looks real clean.

CMG,
The boat runs around 68-69 with my labbed prop and around 66-67 with the stock Bravo 1. Let me know if you're interested.

Formula271,

I'm looking at other options at this time. Maybe a ski boat like a Mastercraft V-drive for the family.

Restabr,


No, I did not sell my boat yet. I haven't even listed it for sale anywhere else except OSO, but if you know someone who's interested, let me know.

That can't be GPS speed! Its must be faster than 67 with the 500 EFIs. My 311 with 454 mags is that fast, what do you have for props?
