i have a manta 32’ cc. Installing a pair of new verado 350s. I Plan to carry 22 or 24 ppl as well and beer and supply’s in the bow cuddly to my island resort in colombia about an hour and a half ride each way.
My boat has offshore tabs. What position should I run the tabs to help get it on plane. The verados comes with 16” 19P props. Do you think I should run. A 17 pitch to help get it on plane? Thx in advance for your input, RM

You Tube

thx but i will pass on running trips or quads. I’m looking for some advice. I’m willing to widen the lifting strakes a bit if need be.
Charlie McCarthy showed me how to get my 35 mistress on plane much more easily by putting in a turn and laying the hull on its side. They got the old offshore boats on plane with mechanical FI with zero bottom end tq and tons of fuel in them

It has seating for 12 ppl and twin 125 gal fuel tanks.

I’m adding two hundred hp and a bunch of tq over 250 2t engines. I don’t think it will be that hard looking for advice on tab position and prop pitch

Throw 22 people off it’ll get right up on plane.

Friend of mine just replaced his Yamis with ETECS on his CC and it’s night and day more powerful. He loves it.

These are everywhere........
Twin Yammies or sometimes Honda's, marine ply, 10 degrees deadrise, 38' long, carry 40 desparate squawking tourists, and you tow them behind a 2.5 liter Hilux on a classy trailer........

Gotta love island living. Seems simple

All those wires are handy to walk along when doing routine maintenance.
(BTW, I've seen a lot worse)

Quick smile then we should get back on topic. :)

Could you imagine being a lineman down there.

Dam that looks like my stereo wiring. 👀👀👀

I’ve had 22 people a few timers and it makes the boat heavy but manageable in my Cig. Bury the tabs and try the props as is before spending money on them. They may work fine.

2t suck more fuel but the oil is what kills ya. The boats here change oil every 100 hours 10 qts for a pair of 4t. In 100 hours of running you burn 187 qts of two stroke oil. They are replacing the 200 2t which burn 43gals on a 1:15 min trip here and back. The 150 4t push just as hard. And burn 28 gals. So it 2k dollars more in your pocket every 6 weeks or so. The local boats are 14 or 18* hulls and run 200. 4t engine and carry 43 ppl. I’m running to Cartagena about 1:45 each way.

The 350 verados are supposed to have some serious mid range I’m sure the marina will have a pair of props to try out. It’s a huge marina complex. For Colombia any way.

we are killing it bro. We have only been on all the travel websites like booking for three months and are avg 90 ppl a day. Building 29 more rooms ASAP and opening a dive shop and transport boats.

Thx so much for the tips on tab and drive position. Kind of stuck on the seating but can store a lot of supplies rearward under the deck in two huge fish boxes. Do to going daily won’t have to bring to much in the waynofnsupplies down daily. I have another boat that will Goni to the mainland in the south west direction with 40hp eng to bring beer sodas and a weekly bulk food purchase.

lmao. The 45 footer here holds I think 55 ppl lol. The 38 footer holds 43. Like sardines. My is luxurious in comparison and I plan on just over an hour ride close to wfo throttle, where as the flat bottom boats rattle your teeth on 1 foot swells and take 1:50 mins. At about 35 Noh. Hell my capt will even let you use the bow cabin to get a hummer if you tip him lol

do not open the links if hot lil spinners in T back bikinis offend you! If that describes you pls, Go back to your blow boater website. Carry on men.

We have over 110 guests here today. Dj will be spinning dance tunes after supper...

most of the tour boats I think run 17p but they only have 200s. Once I’m on plane and feed it the coal I think I will be fine.

lol
dude you have no idea... blow is 2 dollars a gr In medellin and 3 per on the coast. Lol. They don’t have crack here. Bazuco is a by product of the manufacturing process. The low life street erchins smoke that crap. A month ago the cops caught three local dudes cooking a ton of blow in the mangroves of a nearby island lol. Viva colombia. Pm mi I will give yo some Facebook links to local working girl talent that look like super models. I know some old gringos that have live in perfect 10 girlfriends they give a G a month to for college and what ever. Most avg people here make min wage which is 225. Bucks u.s. a month for a six day work week. Viva colombia again for the hotties.

Is that your resort in those pics.if so your living the life dude good for you.

Thx bro, it as a ball buster getting it built the first two years. We’ve been open just over two now and since getting our business licenses we have blow up on booking TripAdvisor etc. Building 20 more rooms ASAP. RM

Next year I’m going to bring down a used 36 skater and scare the chit out of these people. There are zero badazz boats like the states here.

Late this year I want to bring down a 21 to mount a fresh 300 omc V8 on, then will have water skiing and barefoot classes.

You live in paradise. I'm sure guys are allowed on Isla Mucura but I guess it's just more appealing to post pictures s of girls. :)
Good luck to you, a great setup there.

It looks like all been worth it,you have done a great job.

i have a friend from the states coming down soon to update our website to have an English version. Facebook and IG its just guests posting in Spanish for the most part. I think on Facebook you can translate their written text.

thx. It was a hell of a project myself and a bunch of nativos I trained to do gringo style framing and they taught me how to work with palm for the roof work lol

most of those pics and posts are by our guests. More single women come thru than single guys tho. But I’m ok with that lol.
