Christian I don't know if you realize it but this is Sam from Hargroves. We bought the Badboy last fall. Thanks for the info on the prop, that is about what we were thinking. (28 labbed) we are thinking that or a 30 labbed to keep the rpm's down. Would like to max out around 55 or 56 hundred rpm's. Our big thing is cruising speed running around 38 hundred to 4 thousand rpm's because of the amount of times we will run to the Inn from Hargrove Marina. Would like to cruise around 55 or 60 mph. (Thanks for the info)

Hi Sam,
I am sure you will take great care of the hull. We would run exactly at 4,000 rpm and where at 56 mph on the nose, with the bandit racing engine. If you have any questions please feel free, I have lots of notes about the bad boys, and detailed photos of when we CG'd the boat too.

All the best,
C

Thanks for the response, that's just about where we want to be. Wil try the 28 and the 30 and see which one works best, 55 cruising would be nice but 60 would be ideal.

Just started the new engine today. Will be tuning and dialing it in within the next few weeks. Here's the link below on youtube
