Re: Prop 3 or 4 blade
guys the gas issue is sorted for now
i simply took the cover off and opened all windows for 10 minutes
easy,
so back to props cos i'm still taking 40 seconds
how do you measure the x dimension ?
matt - spinnelli cleavers does ring a bell should they take 40 seconds
still need to find out for AudioFN if i'm spinning in or out.
Just waitin on next week pay check up to be able to run the engines for five
minutes
i've lots of testin to do - going for speed run with gps on and new trimming knowledge - goal- to beat fast lane traffic on motorway next to the river i play on.
if you don't hear from me again i may be on the river bed.

Seriously, running the boat before the fuel leak is fixed is a hand grenade with the pin pulled.

Re: Prop 3 or 4 blade
used to have Baja HAmmer 7.4 great fun fast good on fuel towed well.
would have another one if it was Boss hammer
that link looks minging. Petrol boats are a crazy idea like "tommy cookers" Sherman tanks.
Bring on fast diesel boats - you don't have to fix your fuel leaks cos you ain't gonna blow up and the fuel cost less than half price ( in the UK anyway)
i do remember being in hospital earlier this year after my jeans set on fire at a BBQ, that was bad enough.
still would like to see 85 mph.
ok covers off windows open 15 minutes, 10 minutes blower on, open engine cover 10 minutes bilge everything outside the lock gates.
10 mile test
use up all the fuel
sort tanks out on week end
sorted

So, I called Hydromotive and a couple of shops regarding an alternative. I eneded up with a set of 24P Bravo 1 4 blades. Man, I love the way the boat runs! The holeshot and midrange are awesome! Even my cruise speed is 5-6 MPH higher. However, I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't run it WOT yet! 
My kids won't let me leave the house without taking them (I set a speed limit for them, despite many chants to go faster!)
