A hose broke on one of the external steering rams and the boat hooked left. Good thing he was just cruising and not WOT.
Rob is fine.

I bought a '94 10 meter last November 2009 in new york and have been re-doing it since. I would like to talk to you since our boats are so similar. 918.813.0069

Looks good man....fix em up and sell em, I know the procedure. What do you have in mind for your next ride?

Finally got the new props on. It had three blade 15.5 x29. The boat ran very flat and very slow 66mph slow and a real ***** to get on plane, I was ready to sell it. I put on a pair of 16.25x26 four blades and now 76mph and the cruise is awesome. It gets on plane great,it's like a new boat.I wonder if 5 blades would work good on a non step???Any thoughts

Wow, good news. I have a similiar deal going on. My 38 has ssm IV drives, with the high X. All i have had a chance to run is some 17x28 3 blades. So far I can get about 78-79mph, but i am thinking maybe the 4 blades will carry the boat more and get me some more speed. Planing kinda sucks with the 3 blades.

Couldnt hurt to try some 5 blades. Did the boat handle better with the 4 blades?
