[QUOTE=mcprodesign;3650194]Here is the boats's potential if anyone cares

Right now 94.8 @ 5300 climbing and running out of lake. I eased it up to speed and it took a longer than it use to take...

60 mph 3500
50 mph 3000.

This is bone stock props. If i go up 2 pitches and have labbing done I would loose aprox 100-200 rpms ??? Puting me @ 99 MPH ?? Gonna take some time before I do that .. Right now just happy w the set up I have, and in the future I still have a 95 mph set up that I can fall back on.
I could have never done it w o OSO!! Thanks [.

Nice #'s. and you still have some left

Six blades are a bit too much stern lift for getting on plane. So, I had Hering make me a set of 5 Blades.. But, it is too hot now to really test them w/o working my motors too hard.. I't over 100.. So, I will test later. But right now 94.8 stands as the top speed. I have not touched the motors. I think he will go 97.. ( I hope)

Yep, They were perfect just like you said. Hering had no record of repairs. Just kinda hard for my set up to get on plane. The ex boxes you had on your semi stag must have helped it plane . I got within 50 bucks of what I gave you for the props. ( Cheaper than renting a set )
