Funny to see the words Lipship associated with Fountain...

How fast was the boat with the 625's? What's the torque rating on the 710's?

With a set of test props from Fountain it saw a tick over 89. With the set of labbed 27 px5s that I had on it the boat would run 88 at around 5800 rpm with a good load in it. The boat has standoff boxes on it so the dirves may be a bit lower in the water than would be idea.

The play on Lippship was DJ's idea

If you check up on him again make sure he isn't taking any extra long lunch breaks

Why the "Lippship" on the stringers?

www.lipship.com It's one "P" in Phil's naming convention.
