Mike, Don't no if my x and Dirts differ do you?My shorty was on when i purchased my boat,it had the 525sc 454 witha Weind-Mercruiser baby blower,back to my drive not shure if its a 2" or 1" shorty,i have 380 planes,just put on this new prop 31p Maximus diffuser removed boat pops out of the water instantly,Bravos dont work well with my combo way to much slip!!I was spinning a 36p b-1 close to 6000rpm 96mph way to much slippage,Ray
Dirt - I had a 98 Fever with a 525 SC that I put a -2 shorty on - caused the boat to perform a lot better, but did not have much bow rise at all - all a factor of the drive height. I never had any luck with a hydromotive prop on my set up - always used bravo style props.

yep - that's her - Mike Flanigan is a friend of mine and has sold all of my boats. Great boat - I miss it sometimes (especially the cabin). Starting to get the "fever" for a 32 or 35... post a pic of your boat sometime...

engine management system
I finally figured out my engine management system problems after a rediculosly long highly frusterating troubleshooting process. Get this, my Livorsi tachometer had an internal short inside the tachometer and was grounding out the RPM signal and breaking up the signal to the computer. Which tells the computer the engine is not running and the computer shuts the fuel system down. So now after troubleshooting this mystery problem for the last 7 months I can finally start prop testing with some kind of consistancy.I will start posting as soon as I can get the boat out which should be this week with any luck with the weather.I appreciate the info everyone has given me so far, maybe this boat may float afterall. THANKS DIRT173.
