This is what I have http://www.imcomarine.com/cal_store/...plate-kit.html
Do you have any of the upper plate? My kit was for the -1 and does not have a shower hole drilled in it.
Those blowers are pretty. They're my next upgrade. How much boost are you getting with them? I only get 4# with mine and 3.5" pullys.

6-7#? Sweet! Can't wait to get some.
@ 5500? You didn't post a MPH. Hope it's close.
I'm grabbing the other props tomorrow but it's probably gonna rain for the next week+ so not sure when I'll get to go back out.

I have a set of Hering 6bl 15.5" X 35 that I will be selling. I've promised another local 38 Fountain that he could try them. He's in the same boat (there's a pun if I ever saw one)I'm in though. Waiting for the rain to stop! It may be a week or two(@#^#$@#$%$#) away.
However, $ talks. Whatchya thinkin'?

Awesome. Thanks but I can't do this one. Airfair is 1/2 a tank of fuel. Charlie and Brian are going with the K. They could probably bring the 35's. ????$$$$????lol
As for props. It's like guns.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
Props don't kill drives. Engines kill drives.
Well, maybe not.
Mine lasted 100 hours before gear failure with these props.
Its inevitable with a Bravo in a 38' boat with 700HP. That's why I went to SCX.
I loved my Maximus'. 2 years before the prop cracked.
I cracked 4 Bravos in one year. If you do go Bravo, sand the trailing edge lengthwise to get rid of the stress risers.

I think that when we're at 0 prop center align and we try to trim up what it does is it puts the front of the bullet down and it hooks the water. when we were down under water it didn't make that big of a difference
