Trying 2" shorter Sportmasters and 31p 6 blade Herring's right now on my 05 38 Lightning. Unfortunately they had 1:34 gears in it so swapping them out for 1:50. Tried it any way and got the best of 85mph at 4500rpm. Gears going in this week so will post results after.

with the proper setup , you should see 96-97 out of a late model 38 with full stagger 525's.

I take it you've decided to keep it? ;)

BTW, I've got your Fountain Performance Report. Somehow it ended up in my boat.

Send me a fax number and I'll fax it over to you.

John, I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how the boat is. How are the drums too? Call me sometime!
