Opinoion on 35 Lightning Staggard
I would like to ask anyone with experience on 35 Lightning's with staggard engines for any opinions, concerns problems etc... that they may have encountered. I am looking at a 35 with the 496's and bravo xr SSM's. The boat has Hering 32 6blades on it and runs about 83 with 4 and full tanks. Any info on this type of setup would be appreciated.

The numbers do not add up.
1.5 gears/ 32pitch prop/ 10% slip (assume) / 83 mph/ = 4565rpm's ?????? (RBBI prop calculator)
Something isn't right with the math.

It turns about 5000-5100 with the above mentioned load. The props do not have any visible markings from the outside so I am going on what Fountain said they put on it.
I read in a post on this forum that the first staggard 35 in 07 went 90+??

im sure the boat is sensitive to weight and that's a lot of it .
you know when they test there is one guy in the boat and maybe 20 gallons of gas .
