2000 29 fever question
Hello, just wanted to get some opinions. I have a 2000 29 fever with a 500 efi and 1.50 bravo 1 outdrive. Bought this boat from Bob T a couple of years ago. Love the boat! I have it in the classifieds, but if it does not sell soon, I am thinking of an upgrade here and there. What does the 2" shorty do for this boat, for you that have experience with it? I am guessing it will slow planning times. What about midrange and WOT? Need prop change? I am running a 26 bravo 1 39mph@3000 rpm and 76mph @ 5300 rpm. These are speedo readings. Any replies are appreciated.

You have a great trouble free set up, that out runs any other boat with same size and power! That being said if you have the need for more speed, a whipple will be the most increase for money spent. As for raising the X dim, Fountain makes them pretty aggresive already?? Any higher and you will blow out on turns and have hard time planing off.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the advice. May just leave it alone. It sure is nice going out and turning the key and enjoying. One day I may go a little faster, but when I do i will stay stock. I just relisted. If it does not sell, oh well more GOOD TIMES!!!
