We were out of the water yesterday, props out and all according to the other boat that was with us, but we didn't catch that on film unfortunately.
Not sure if I want to be out of the water that much, but I know Rob would love it!

Yeppers, Those 800's would have to be about 950's to hit 90 mph. Cabins REALLY slow down 41's. On the race 41's, Just filling the front fuel tanks, which are just forward of the helm will scrub off about 3 mph. You can imagine what a full cabin will do to top end speed.

That's awesome for a side-by-side, full-cabin boat. I'd sleep with those props under my pillow if I were you. Mine had about 825 per on 3's and I never could get it over 80. When I had the 750NA's in it, I couldn't get past 76 on the GPS. If I could reach 90 with the 1000's on sixes, I'd be thrilled.

The pleasure Apache is a much better wave-crusher than the race version. All that extra weight helps- that's your payback for the loss of top end.

And 3's don't like 950.

Congrats on your new boat! Those were my props and Matt and Julie at Throttle Up worked them and they were perfect. You have a great wave basher and those motors of Tommy's are very strong. Enjoy. NK
