This baby is good as new! Are you going to turn your props inwards now? I guess you could get 83 mph out of it?!?!?!?! Fun in a 29 Fever. ;-) post some more info and pictures when you test it. Good luck.

I run inwards. Run 32p Bravo 4blades at 5400 rpm with 1,65:1 gears. Want to try out 33 Maximus props... I guess you need as much bow lift as possible.....

I need bowlift big time!.......hopefully the extra power will get the boat up on the pad better.

i`ve been told to run my props out by several people is it better to run them in ? i got my bow lift by taking 400lbs of rotten wood out and redoing in composite marials can`t wait to hear how you run

every boat is different but what I have gathered over the years on here is the general concensus is you might get some slight additional speed from turning in but it is offfset by some scary handling traits that go along with it........Y225s boat has a step hull that ours doesnt and his X dim is going to be signifigantly higher.......maybe Monstaa has some input.......be a cool thing to try though!!!

hey Im feeling real badazz getting out of the stone age with my new counter rotating drive so I dont have both my props turning the same way!!!:rolleyes::D
