Sorry Petesflh I didnt see the stock 26 prop part.
But still I dont see what I'm missing I wonder when Fountain started going to 1.65 and 28 pitch props and why? If I knew my boat would run 77 after the Raylar kit I would probably pull the trigger. |

I'm sure some one has a late model 27 that has done the Raylar We'll just have to wait for them to chime in |
We picked up a kit from Ray yesterday...We will give an update on the 27fever real soon...it has a 28p w/1.65 gears. we are anticapting going to a 30p. we should have it installed and tested within 2 weeks. Currently the boat will hit 70 with a light load and we do run in saltwater.

i dont think youll see 77 with 550 / 570 hs its going to take more than that , my 27 fountain 598 725 hs 770 tq runs at 84 at 5400 although non stepped hull 1.36 24 pitch with labbing will increase to maybe 57 5800 perfect !

A 30 Pitch :eek: I hate to think about what docking is going to be like. I guess it might just take some getting use to.
I think if the boat hits 67-68 now it will go close to 77 dialed in with the right prop. Please let us know the results. How soon will the install take place? |
What is so hard about docking with a 30p prop??the thing already manuvers like chit around the dock. I don't see how it would be any worse.
We are pulling the engine out this weekend |
I dock my 29 Fever single engine (575SCi) with a 30P Bravo 1 and sometimes a 32P Bravo 1 prop (1.5 gear ratio) several times, every time we use the boat. Never have/had a problem. Just pop it in/out of gear to control movement and speed. What makes it so hard? Wind gives me more problems than anything else when trying to dock a single engine boat of that length
