shove everyone into the cabin until it breaks over...
|
thanks for that suggestion! Lol actually did make 3 guys go up to cabin and that still did not work! prior owner says let it cavitate and blow out and will start to grab!
|
I would think that one of the prop supporting vendors would have a solution for you. Sounds like a beautiful boat but who needs the drama every time you want to get under way?
|
Thanks for replies! yes-boat was actually set-up to race f-2 class-i was told that they actually made it lighter then other 38's raised the x to give it more top end. also here is a thought how about changing the shorties back to standard?
|
Try a 1" spacer that should help you to get on plane will loose about 2 or 3 mph. The bad thing about your setup is you are always going to be a blade thrower with the high x dim. Bravo's can't handle surfacing had the same setup with 600's and lost about 9 or 10 blades.

I think all the newer ones are like this, my boat has same x and that's what I do, takes a little getting used to but after few times it like riding a bike.

Did you try this:
1. Drives tucked and tabs at 5.5-6 2. Run boat up to approx 3200-3500 rpm's...it should still be hooking and gaining speed and beginning to try to plane. 3. As boat picks up speed (17-19MPH) gradually start bump up tabs till it breaks over....gradually apply throttle to about 4000rpms till it fully breaks over and hooks. It takes our 42 a LONG time to get up on plane...lol. |
prior owner(Braxton) has been so helpful! he also claims he lost a bunch of blades-he had herring build 7 bladders and have been perfect! putting on 1" spacers will that put too much load on drives w/this set-up? Brian from fountain said best would be to go to standard lowers instead of shorties -that would be a 2" drop.

i think 1" spacers -see what speed loss? then shop a prop-just talked to reggie and he agreed that he liked the maxim props.
|
What 5 blade maxims are equivalent to 6 blade herring 34's? also big dif., if maxims are labbed or not.
