BT46,
I'm asking about your set up to assist me in my rebuild,
are those 23's mirage plus ?
what kind of drives?
what are the engine center-lines?
what is the prop shaft height set at.
i have an 84 30 scarab
I'm sticking w/ my TRS drives
my engine center-lines are 34"
i read a thread on here that TRS liked to be between 4"-5"
prop height, on old straight V hull, but now i can't find the thread!
hopefully i'll be safe 4.5"
again, not here to tell you how to drive, or whatever the heck happened to this thread. just here to learn some so i get it pretty close the first time.
good luck getting the bullet dialed.
thanks
dan

here we go again.... griff thanks for all the help youve given me over the past year.. TEX.. hitting pot holes with your trailer does not constitute rough water.. i tried 3 blades on my pantera twin and i ran into the same problem as your having brett. i run B1 26's now and i have a set of 24 and 26 hydros to try out if i ever find the time. you can email me the pics of your bullet and i will throw them up for ya.

"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.

Are you telling me if I told you my buddy has more rough water seat time than you do on the toilet you wouldn't consider it a personal insult? LOOK Griff its raining!!

Man, WTF is wrong with some people????
Does every phucking thread on OSO have to go to the chitter now? (Shaking my head)
Brett,
I have some experience with 31 Bullets
Mine came with a 27 Mirage Plus 3-blade on it and i switched it over to 26-pitch 4-blades. It picked up about 4-5 mph at cruise and didn't lose anything at full speed. So, most of the advice given is good that you've received. What I have never seen is a 31 Bullet that came with a high X on it. So, unless someone has raised the x-diminsion, a high x is not the source of your problem.
My Bullet was the easiest boat to drive that I've ever been in. Get it on plane, trim it and go. No tabs needed unless there was a big wind going on.
I sure miss my Bullet!!!
