When you have rough water seat time in a 31 Bullet, then you will be qualified to give advice. When you bring your boat to LOTO on a holiday weekend, you will be qualified to discuss rough water there. Until then, this post, like most others you make, is worthless.

What are you the speech police? I don't know the guys lifetime experience with boats. Nobody said you had to agree with me. Same goes for the rest of you. Disagree all you want, but no need for personal insults. People like you are why others don't post............and lets be truthful here. Your post haven't done a single thing to help the poster; all it did was muck up the thread with personal insults that have nothing to do with blowout. My post have actually helped other posters by eliminating the possiblity of driver error as being a factor to the blowout.

I don't consider Texoma to be rough water either cept for the occasional days with 30mph winds and Texoma is roughly 60% bigger than LOTO with large main spans; not a long river. We have holidays here too

Now that the possibility of driver error has been eliminated I would also suggest trying new props and I would definitely look at the X dimension to see if its been raised.

Try som Hydomotive Intimidator 4 blades. Will also give some stern lift. It really woke up my F311 with 650 HP per side.

Does any one know what it could be do I need bigger props??? The boat had these props before I owned it..
Thanks

Do you know what 3 blade props are on there now? My boat was fast with a standard mirage but would lose "bite" in rough water and do what you're describing. Going to a 4 blade should cure it or even a 3 blade with a little more cup.

"People like me" have helped more people OSO with good advice and made more lasting freindships than you will ever realize. BTW, I have never even met Brett personally. I have seen him driving several boats and watched him dock a 46 BT in places and conditions that I would be nervous in my 32 AT.
I never called you "phucking azzhole" or any other names and am mature enough to not have to go there.
