Meanstreak 388
 
Eric Smith's new 388 ran 106MPH @ 5000RPM at 49% throttle with TMP 900's yesterday. The water was too rough to stand on it. Also props were too small. The boat should run between 125 and 130 according to Joe. It is a non stagger with arneson's. Pics will be put up tomorrow....

Just got in. We were using the props off of the Turbo 388 and they were too small. We think Mean Streak needs 34 or 35 pitch for maximum performance. This boat is an absolute beast. I have some good video of us running it, I just need to get it off my video camera onto here. Anyway, here are a few photos.

Matt, I was in such a hurry to get over there, I left my camera. Thanks for going back to your house to get the camera! It is going to need at least 2" more than the turbo boat.....so much for the no wake zones......

Matt, did you take a pic of the Arnesons?

Re: Meanstreak 388
 
I know he said the big props were being overnighted.....did they ship today or tomorrow? Saturday is coming up fast! If nothing else, I will ask BG if we can borrow a set of 35's.

that boat is inspiring to look at! what model arnesons are they, and what do the cost for a pair? unreal how sweet it looks

thunderusone 08-11-2005 03:52 PM

Re: Meanstreak 388
 
ASD 6's. They were more than bravo's but less than 6's. I dont know the exact cost. The owner just paid the trade difference when he traded his old 388. RIK can give you some prices.

Does that include Transmissions?

Transmission is included.

The Kicker is the Props! But you get what you pay for. $40K by the time it is all said and done.

Rik 08-12-2005 12:12 AM

Re: Meanstreak 388
 
Yea props are a bit of money, but when compared to what others are spending on the Hering 5 and 6 bladed Bravo propellers, they are not that much more.

Rik dont you just use a speedmaster prop?

Rik 08-12-2005 11:11 AM

Re: Meanstreak 388
 
Yep, the propellers we reccomend are the Mercury SSM#6 propellers. Our shafts are 26 tooth spline and the Mercury are the less expensive and the 5 blades give great performance.

Eric just left the house. They just got back from lake cumberland. Boat ran great. He said got up to 110 and could not get on it anymore as the water was too ruff. He tells me that he is getting better with it. The arnesons are a whole different ballgame. I have been in it up to 100-105.
