Again, a great boat at a good price. Hopefully it will move
quickly and before you get into the throws of winter. FYI,
down here on the Gulf Coast the insurance would be just
about twice what you are paying., The props are a nice
touch. What where your stock props and how did the new
props improve your performance? Good Luck

The stock props are Bravo I 32P. The difference is amazing. The boat is much more hooked up. It gets on plane significantly faster and cruises approx. 3-5mph higher at any given rpm. The top speed picked up ~1.5mph on average. The gas mileage went up .333mpg. Overall, no ill effects from the Maximus props.

Viper TT,I just bought a 04-38 Lightning with 525's.Who do you have your insurance with.I need to get a better rate than my current carrier is giving me.Thx

My insurance is with Liberty Mutual. I think the yacht rate is a bonus because I have everything insured with them.

just curious, what speeds were you getting with your 35?

90.5mph with Bravo I's and 93.1mph with labbed Maximus.
