I'm joking....he bought it. Could have bought it out of NE?

Yes, I did buy it from someone here in Nebraska.

So far I have tried a set of 32 Lab max's, they were a little too big. I could turn those to 4900. I threw a blade off of my 32 bravo's. Now I have a set of Herring 31 6 blades to try out, but I haven't made it to the lake yet. For everyone's information the sportmasters that are on it are standard length.

Good luck on the props. Just picked up a 42 ex with 525s. It's got the 32 bravos on it.

You picked up a nice lightning!

how do you like it compared to your slingshot?

You may be over triming , 3.5 is about max on the boats with high X Check the performance report for your boat. 30 maxs trim to 3.5 should bring the slip down MERCURY has a special part # for maxs to work on Fountains

Rides real good. Just picked it up last Friday.

Tried a set of 31 throttle up 6 blades. They worked better. Got me to 78 @ 4800. Then I tried som 30 throttle up 6 blades. They worked even better 82@ 5000. Getting closer.

I also got the performance report from fountain. It said it had 32 Maximus props, the x dimension is 22 1/2, and WOT was 90 @ 5350. It had no mention of the magic water they were running on though.
