I am curious what you guys are running for X-dimmension on 28' ( or so ) single engine Straight V bottoms ( no pads , steps , or notches )

Please specify the boat , Weight , Cabin or no cabin , What drive , Prop , extension box or not , ect.........

What are you guys running ? & what kind prop slip #'s , if you don't know the slip#'s give the rpm , prop pitch & GPS ( only )speed

Thanks , Scott

#3 Ssm 21.5"

What does a # 3 measure shaft to shaft ?

25 Outlaw with 3" lift Imco box. Notched transom. 4 1/2" from pad to propshaft. XR drive. 525 power, 80 mph.

28 cigarette , single trs , propshaft is even to the keel.. do not have any other info other than it handled great when she ran ahh , like 6 years ago...

The standard X for a single engine 28 Pantera without a notch is 17"--thats what Jo told me.

The propslip varies depending on power and prop used between about 12% and 18%

Yeah I know that Jo likes to run their non notched 28's about 5 - 5 1/4 below the V.

I am asking this obvoisly for my 28 Saber. Which as far as comparison it would probably be very similar to the setup on a 28 Pantera ( no notch transom ) & generally Jo sets them up with Bravo 4 blades.
The boat should come in around 5000# & will probably end up with a Konrad on it. I am just woundering with all of the new 5 & 6 bladers that are out now , am I best staying conservitive with the X & running a 4 blade bravo or going just a touch higer & running a 5 or 6 blade ?
Keep in mind the boat is a pleasure boat with a cabin & is a non step V that will need bow lift. Just trying to get some opinions to kick around at the moment.

If you need any help or direction on the Konrad. Let me know. It's a very complete system, but there are things to be aware of.

Also, if I can help with the purchase, I'd like to be your distributor of choice.

Thanks Kirk, Where did your X end up at ? I would assume somewhere around 4 1/2 - 5 Due to the fact that you are running a box.
