Michael, thanks for taking time to answer all of my questions today. I’m excited to join the Nor-Tech club, and feel even better about it after speaking with you. I have a feeling I’ll bug you a few more times when my build goes to rigging.

Matt- my pleasure!
Congrats on the new boat, I think you are going to be pleased w/ the Nor-Tech.
Had you reached out to me sooner before laying down that deposit I could have saved you some time, $$$ + you’d be boating right now.��

So you're selling????

Everything is for sale ALL the time, that way I don’t get too attached.

I have a new 34' 3-350 Mercury's do you have any recommendations on props for max speed boat should be here in the next month.

Ran C- congrats on your purchase, you won't be disappointed.

I've owned 2, one topped out at 80, the other 81mph (equipped similarly) but this is not a comfortable ride trimmed way out and the top acting like a kite causing the boat to chine walk.
75mph is going to be about your max safe top speed IMO.

If I'm not mistaken it doesn't matter whether you buy a 34 or 39 w/ triple 350's or 400's they seem to always recommend Merc Rev 4 25p's which I guarantee your boat will come with.

I talked to Bret at Bblade awhile back he suggested 26" 4-speed ob/fx said it should give +3 mph?

I can't say whether it will or won't but he certainly would know.

You originally asked about max speed. IMO if a prop gave you 5mph gain it is unusable based on stability.
With that said if the BBlade props provide you 3mph more at the same RPM from midrange on up then you certainly improved your efficiency and cruise speed.
Just depends what your goal is.

Thanks for your input, very true if its not stabile the extra speed is of no use.

We got your post count up so now you can post pics of your boat as soon as she completes!
