Chad, my 30" bravo four blade is stock, and runs very well. One thing I discovered is my timing was off on the 575. Poochy out of the hole, and non exciting midrange. My mechanic fixed the timing, and the 575 came alive. As mentioned, I ran a lab 30" four blade hydro and it cavitaded so bad out of the whole that you wouldn't want to run this prop.

Not sure what you mean or who is full of what and or why why. Here is what I know.

The boat cover mentioned was specially made after the purchase for this boat went down. The guy paid over 1000 for it and it is a custom cover. So it's not your buddy's cover unless he wants to pay for it.

I don't know about the rug, but I know the boat was not repoed. After trying for sometime to sell a pretty much new boat lightly used, the owner went to the only bidder in a time sensitive situation. After bending over and taking it good, he let it go but sold the trailer seperate and is apparently selling what he can to heal the pain. So if you don't know, maybe you shouldn't assume.

As far as the boat speed goes, it ran 79.5 into the wind, low fuel in 3 foot chop. Two guys on the boat, I was one. So loose the fuel and a guy and you'll probably get there.

Lastly, the boat listed out at 130k and while no one in their right mind would pay that I think he was around 100k all in. I am sure the new owner got a much much better deal for essentially the same boat and perhaps he can afford a better rug.

nuff said.

That's right. I had one too. Same year, same setup. Mostly ran 74 - 78.... 79 - 80 was the perfect day running very light on fuel and people. Thats what they run. Mine came with a factory test and the tatle tail set at 80. I never hit that and was convinced that was one of the Washington boys running with the current. They really do need to carry the bow....
