32' Fever top speed
 

Just bought a 32' 99 fever with 502mpi's and took it out for the first time over the weekend with 3 or 5 people it was running 75 on speedo and 71-72 on 2 different cell phones. Does this seem right? Each of the people are 150 or less. It has bravo 1 26p props.

I don't own a fever but that sounds about right to me. You can also call fountain and get the original test report from when boat was built sent to you. Just remember that was with 1 person and minimal fuel.

US1 has the same boat and I thought he has said 74-75 any day, maybe a best of 77.

What props and are they turning in or out? You gain a little spinning in.

For me everyone has said spinning in makes docking a pain,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I must just suc because it didn't seem any worst for me! LOL

Nice Phil. Start putting it together yet? Lol

It has bravo 1 26p 4 blades. And I've never payed attention what way they turn, It didn't seem to make a difference full of empty of gas or rough or smooth water either but you know how it is, more speed is always better lol

Yes there are a few things bolted on the transom,,,,,, more wiring completed more to go,,, a lot more. But at least it is cooler so when I do have days off I can work on it.
Got my battery boxes from the hydro-dip shop. Who now has my truck because of some A$$ that doesn't know how to steer a lawn mower of all things,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Back on topic, US1 or someone my speak up but you do seem a couple mph off. What were drive and TABS at? What rpm did you pull?

Unfortunatly i don't remember exact rams, but roughly just a over 5k to maybe 5200. The drives anywhere from 3-5.5 and tabs from 3-1.

From this can you tell if they turn in or out?

Turning in

Try Trimming a little more, my straight hull runs 70-71, you should be around 75 or tad more.
