502SCS, I read somewere that there were only 12 orange built. One was weecked in the movie face off.

Wow! I never heard that. I know I looked for almost two years for one. I wonder how I can verify that. I will send Wellcraft and see if they can tell me. Well at least I know there is at least 10 others crazy enough to buy an orange boat :-)

I just recieved this email from Wellcraft looks like your ifo was good see below.

No, the solid orange was only built in 1997.

last year i installed a 1999 hp500 with cmi etops into my 96 scarab 22. it's like driving a sports car. props of choice are a 27p and a modified 29p mirage plus, spinning the hp at 5250 rpm. it's a blast.

Anybody have a feel for 4 blade bravo1 props? My 23' SCS pulls to 5k rev limit fast with the 25p Mirage Plus. I tried a 29P 3 blade and found it was too much prop. How does a 28P 4 blade bravo1 compare. Think I should try it?
Thanks

Here is a good way to give the group a good chance at helping me with this .. Watch this video from this weekend. The very end is a shot of me coming toward the cam then I let off the gas and the sound is loud ..

It just started when I took prop off and tried a new one, then put old 25p back on for these pics
thanks

Hpscarab22, Have you gps'd that little rocket? g:reg

502sc, almost a "whistling" sound?

I could not push a 28P Bravo 1 enough rpms. 45-4600. Speed was down a little to 71.9 GPS. The boat handled much better though. I want to try a 26p Bravo 1 next.
