prop shaft height
what is the ideal prop shaft height for 29' v-bottom twin small blocks ,,, boat weights about 6400 dry
|
Your boat has a nice attitude. What props are you using and how far are your prop shafts below the bottom? Did the boat come from Wellcraft with Mirage or Bravo props?
|
using 25p mirage splined and 23 mirage plus ,,,, center line of shaft is 7 1/4' below hull
|
The Ideal height will Vary by boat, Sometimes even boats from the same mold depending on what it is going to be used for. Racing/Cruising etc. If what you're going for is top speed then higher is better "To a Certain Extent" once you are high enough to lose leverage, Then you lose Trim-ability. You can get some back using props with more blade area, After that you need to start going back down :)

I wont do anything quick fastdonzi, where would start?
|
If you can try some shorty's that would be good, Actually you'd rather get high (Prop shaft hight :) ) by using shorty's. A Re-rig to raise standard length drives moves everything up. Can be done, I don't recommend that route for testing. A Re-rig of that type would cost as much as shorty's.
