Most Motions ran 15 because the wider tunnel would carry the boat more. I my oppinion you have to try every prop on a boat because every boat is different, yes even two of the same motions or skaters. My gues is that a 15x32 or 34 would be a good prop on your boat. A nice set of labbed merc 3 blade cleavers would probably do the trick.

Now honestly my friend, isn't a "cat" thread really a Vee thread with training wheels?

According to Steve ........He needs training wheels to pee.......so cut him some slack. After you flip as many times as he has I'm not certain if you can tell the difference between a cat and a vee...... He has certainly forgotten more than we'll ever know about hydros. Unfortunately, he also seems to have forgotten everything he ever knew about hydros too.

Starfire 100, I mean McCulloch 75, uh, no I mean Homelite 55, shoot, BP, no darn that's not it either, 150 XS, dang it, Chrysler 135...... T, yeah. yeah, T2X, Its you! I recognize the voice but not the face Well, no I actually, where the heck am I?????

We're doing some pretty cool stuff to the O Boy! Oberto off season. Hope you and Darren can visit with us at one of the events this year. The way these are constructed it's almost like an erector set of sorts, with pre-preg panels, cold molds, etc.

If all of these changes work we'll be running great. If not, well heck, it's just another 540 degree rotation day

All the best buddy!

Steve

Steve:

If you guys ever put on a hydro race within 1000 miles of New Joisey.......we'll be there. I hope those engines you were referring to are not Oh Boy Oberto's new technology......especially the Homelite 55.

T2x........
