Did you have a problem gitting your prop?well it's about to rain here in sunny Fl. gotta cover the boat.See ya life just begin's at 100,hey Rackster do you have a dyno sheet on your motor if so what's your h.p.

It spun the 32 Hering at 5450 rpm. I just tested the prop (I have a good inside connection :cool: ). The Hering tends to cavitate a lot when getting on plane (no diffuser). I do have a dyno sheet, but I don't think that the motor has the same torque/hp in the boat as on the dyno. 991 lb/ft @ 3500 and 914 hp @ 5500 I expected the boat to move better with this power. Of course we always want more than we get. :(

also, how fast would a new one go with 900hp or so? thanks

There was a 29' no engine (twins) forsale on ebay a day or two ago, hurry it may still be there. (category powerboats 28 plus feet).
