Proping for run at LOTO Shoot out
Any one run F1, with a 27 fever? I am trying to get ready for the LOTO Shoot out. I am running 74-75mph radar with a Hydro 25 Hitting 5300rpm, I am thinking maybe a hydro 27 labbed?? Winner in my class last year turned 77mph? V2F1. Looking to get every ounce of speed out of my boat, running 500efi. I am calling the Factory to see if they may want to help in advising also?
Thanks
WILL

You busted me
I was wondering if anyone would catch on, I apoligize for my misinformation from earlier. I thought I was running a 26 Hydro. I pulled the prop and double checked my test sheet and it a 25
I feel bad about this, I have told everyone for the past year it was a 26?? Sorry,
Speed is still the same, 75, actually yesturday the best I could get was 73 GPS 97 degrees outside. Plus I am only running 1 mile from dead stop.

I was at the factory today and spent a little time with Marty a test driver. He suggested I try a 28 Bravo 4 blade on my 27 with a procharger. He liked the Hydro but thought the Bravo would work better on my setup. I'm running a 27 Hydro now.
Also met Reggie and went on t shakedown run on the new 48ft with triple diesels. 65 mph on a cruiser was pretty impressive. He cut the wheel hard over at 50 and turned some really tight circles with no blow out or slip. They were working on the Rio Roses F2 boat and said they had turned numbers in the 110 range with HP 500's!! Pretty impressive anf friendly facility.
