Re: Check the Tail
 

Every new staggered (bravo) 42 Fountain that I have seen lately throws a rooster tail no matter where the drives are. It seems that they are trying to slip a bigger prop in order to make the boat faster. I have seen improvements by going with spacers and smaller props getting the slip around 10%. Seen gains of 6 mph above factory delivered boats. 4 boats total.

Anyone else?

Re: Check the Tail
 

The 42 Poker Run that was running this year at the Harbor Hop at loto was throwing a tail non stop with staggereds and bravo xr's. :cool: I thought he was just trying to show off.

OK, I'm awake now..................


Funny Brandon. The boat always throws a tail. Huge until about 70 with the drives only SLIGHTLY trimmed. So, no U Joint problems and no "Shows" :)

P.S. Steve was driving the boat Sunday, so what do expect from someone who just learned?

Re: Check the Tail
 

LOL. I heard he was giving it hell. Mine throws one out there until about 70 as well then flattens out afterward. Still baby**** compared to a #6 or arneson :( :D . When you gonna order the poker run boat and get out of the family truckster? :drink: :drink:
