What did the reggie report claim on your boat? Did the imco 2" shorties make a diffrence?

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.

strong 64 on gps with stock 502's and 24 bravo ones....better watch out haha.

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

05, staggered with 525's, full load of fuel, 93mph today

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.

I have a 2008 38' lightning with 525's and it runs 96 to 97 on the GPS

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