sorry guys but Tomcat, you going to the boat show?

Uncletoys, I know a guy who has some 29 Mirage Plus props. He had a little bit of diameter cut out of them (maybe 1/4") but I think he wants to sell them. Let me know if you are interested. Mark 616-291-7932

Tomcat, I really enjoyed your prop test info. I have a little too much transom lift on my 32"AT V-hull. In rough water it rides pretty flat/level which is nice but in calm waters it does a little bow steering...too much wetted surface. Last year I switched from TRS drives w/trannies to Bravo XR's with Stellings extension boxes and raised the "X" 2.5" Also, the prop shaft I was told is 1" shorter on the Bravo compare to the TRS so that actually puts me at 3.5" higher X. This past summer I was running the engines with driveshafts where the trannies USED to be...but now I'm moving the engines back to a stock Bravo installation (10") in hopes that it will change my center of gravity and give me a little more bow lift. I don't need much and I'm hoping it will help. Also, it should change my angle of attack/trim for the better. We'll see. Man, the things we go through to gain just a little more speed. Will it ever be enough??? :confused:

Kaama - We all subscribe to the Hot Rodder's Mantra: "If more is better, then too much is just right!"

Twin29 - No plans to go to the show; too many bowriders and cruisers; not enough HP.

tomcat - thanks! Love your mantra!

KAAMA - I'll keep the number, going to try 27" first and see what we get.
