Are you running your props in or out?

What kind of props?

What have you notice when you changed them.

Winter, nothing else to do,,,,,,,,,,,,,

When in forward, I'll turn them out. When in reverse, I'll spin them in. :)

I saw 100% improvement when swapped to out, with zero loss of speed. Boat even felt more stable when at speed with them out.

Don't you have class? ;)

Yea, doing homework now. Yuk.

Mine spin in, tried out, but was ill handling around the marina. In between props right now, I changed lowers in the fall and have only had time to test a few, but the hydromotive p4x is looking like a winner right now

Mine are spinnin out 26 4 blade mach drivers, deffinately trying some new props this spring.... All your guys boats are stepped correct??? Topend mines pretty difficult around the docks with em spinning out

Mine is stepped, US1 told me that his boat was better around the docks spinning out????

How do your boats handle at top speed?

Mine is a bit "loose" around high seventies into the 80's.

Out is always better around the docks, top end handling and speed will vary with hull and prop set up. Fountains generally favor being spun in on the upper end.

"Loose" is fast, that is if you can drive it that way! :D

It didn't take to long to get used to it, they will get into a chime walk pretty easy but not hard to get out. I will add a tab switch to my controls this winter.

I just need to leave the wife at the dock on those runs.:lolhit:

spinning in

Sorry, you are right, I was wrong, mine spin in and it handles like its on rails to top end(90+ GPS)! Its a single step 96 and comes out of the hole like a dream. We tested 32 maximus on it and still had no problem.

That quite the opposite from the standard. Out has always been the best when around docks.


Wild, you can leave the wife with us. We'll take care of her, maybe even convert het to a cruiser person.

Oh no you don't I have to fight that battle already,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:nhl_fight:

Maybe I need to get you back on the boat more this year and convert you back.:lolhit:

hmmm i've only got about a year experience with the boat boat & twin engines for that matter, i know im not the best @ docking anyhow but with out a little throttle input the boat has lil to no response in moving hardly just putting it in & outta gear.... ive gotten a best of 69 on gps 502 mag efi's, lil disappointed really hoping it would run 72-73. are my expectstions to high? my tachs ares off so not real sure of the rpms, getting new guages & im trying some new props this spring hoping for some gains
wildman..... us1... where do you guys normally boat? im about 30 minutes from brookville lake & go to cumberland quite often

Monroe, I like Cumberland and Dale Hollow but the wife works every friday and monday, makes it hard for us to get there.

I have a friend that boats at brookville, you seen this one before?

I can run 75 with my 502's. Running balanced 26" Hydros. Have seen better if the stars are aligned right. Seems about average for this setup.

I'm at Monroe every weekend from mid May till Nov 1, with maybe 1 at Cumberland or Loto. Come on over this summer. Might force me to haul the Fountain down for the weekend and we can make a showing, otherwise, I'll be in the cruiser. :eek:

In- Out
 

I purchased my 96 32 fever last week on test run we turned the props in same as out 81 on gps but chine walked in no walk out 30 bravos. My first twin and much more stable than my singel at the same speed.

Wildman I believe so.... Brookville is a pretty boring place but it's close by & has a nice lil restraunt on it. Us1 sounds like that's all I'm prolly gonna get out of her then if your hittin 75 as yours is stepped & mine is a straight bottom

My 35 Lightning, smooth bottom, turns out, Hydromotive Q4, 28 pitch, runs mid 80's on gps, very stable at all speeds, I think I need 30 pitch for more top end.

Sounds like I need to try turning them out this year.

Rich,
Where did you do that test run at?

WILDMAN
Idid the test run in Quincy Florida
Rich

wildman, define a "place" to work on the graphics. Ill help you work on us1 this summer.

I mean if you have the building I could help you with the graphics dependng on how much you want to do.

I think US1 will be selling his boat this summer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, maybe. It's clean.

Wildman is the guy for graphics. I've seen him work the Etch-O- Sketch like no other.

Yeah, my boat may be for sale. You know what the difference is between for sell and sold?? About 3 yrs. :)

Not if is RED:lolhit:

If monroe is like I remember, the "wake makers" may be a good option. Id rather be on top of it with the hammer down though! right now I'd settle for going out in a fishing boat, I miss summer!

I have a 98 32 fever w/t-502 mag MPI's, Bravo drives and Hydromotive 27p quad 4s. On gps I get 79 mph but keep in mind salt water is faster than fresh, Bob Teague in Powerboat mag is a huge wealth of knowledge. According to him on a stepped bottom with a high X turning in is faster, out is better around the dock.:cool-smiley-027:

I have a 32 with twin 525 SC's with 30 pitch props and runs 88 on gps.

I run 30P labbed B1's with Imco -2 shorties turning in. best gps so far is 105.3 in light chop on the Columbia river, single step......custom Russell Marine 572's dyno'd at a hair over 700 hp each :evilb:

Bet that's a fun ride @ 105

Do most agree getting props lab finished worth it?

anyone can help me?
 

I am just about to get my boat back from my mechanic, he had it for the winter, I have a 1999 32 fountain with supercharged 502's also making 700hp and 750 torque. Here is the thing, when i gave him the boat it was doing 98mph and just about hitting the rev limiters, now we took the boat out and it did 90mph, but hit the rev limiters really easy. All he did was increase fuel pressure, and put bigger oil cooling systems. He says I need to change my props from Bravo 34p 4 blade to 31-32p 5 blades. can anyone tell me why such a change?

Something ain't right. If it still was about hitting the rev limiters with the same props, it'd be going the exact same speed. But now you are hitting the limiters, you should be going faster.
Something else had been changed.

Has the speedo went goofy, maybe reading slower.

Are the rpms's the same? Now you are going 8 mph slower? Not adding up. 5 blades are usually a couple of mph slower on the top end unless you put shorter drives on it, and your slip is really high.
