Well the rain held us back Saturday and Sunday, so no testing. Hopefully today.

I hear you Joe, but I am hoping that we can knock this piss out of the slip. I have heard that we will pick up anywhere from 400-500 rpms from the 1:50 gears over the 1:36. We were spining the non labbed 32 at about 4900 rpms and the props were not the cleanest, so I think we may have been loosing 100 or so RPMs.

I talked with Herring on Friday and the felt that the 32 was the best place to start.

O, you were run'n NL 32's with .36's and no the .50's right?

We ran both lab, and no lab on the 1:36's. With non labbed 30 5250 rpms, labbed all over the boxes, non labbed 32 4900, labbed 32 at 5000.:confused:

This prop/gear/spacer testing is a long process as I am learning....

for the record
 

as far as the 88mph for stock. thats what I was told, by numerous people including chip fendt, and I am spinning to the moon with 30p at about 5600 rpm I would like to try some five blades or 32p four blades maybe get a better cruise speed.

We got 97 with the 1:5 gears and herring 32-5 blade props, but could only make one pass until we blew an impellor. We are guessing that we sucked up a bag. So we are back in the shop changing out the impellor and going back to do a bit more testing....stay tuned....Oh yeah, and Pat said the boat handled like it was on rails at that speed. :cool:

Anyone ever check to see what a 600sc really makes on the dyno? I've always been curious as to if they are making more. :rolleyes: Thunderdan...good luck with your quest to join the Triple digit club. :cool: I'm a cat guy so I don't know your hull that well, but I think you'll get there. ;)

For those of you who PM me, when we get our best speed, I will post a picture of the GPS for you all to see.:cool: :D

What rpm with that 32 5Blade 1.5 97mph?

Dan there was an article in powerboat mag(i think) that Phil Lipschults got significant increase in mph on a tiger by shortening the water pick ups. I have no clue but you might want to check out the article. Best of luck! Pat will get it right.:cool:

I must have missed something Catman, but it is OK. I am used to it. I have gotten 3 pm from people today doubting me. I do have on thing to say to you 3, bite me. I know when my boat is dailed in you 3 will see my transom. Oh and by the way I have a tatletale gps, a garmin 162 gps, and pat had a hand held gps. So yes I have acurate reading.

I guess I get the BS because i was trying to save some other some grief and agravation in prop testing and share my results, guess it was a mistake.
