I've worked on that boat 1st hand.
Very clean boat!!
Congrats on the new purchase!

Once I get it hear, I'll hit you up on the props he has with it. He had a labbeb prop that's not on the boat. I'm going to be safe a do an impeller change and hope to on the water on Saturday. I'll do a few tests with each.

thanx

Sweeeeet!!

Congratulations.

Very nice!!!

Maybe...just maybe a Labbed 28 would be perfect.
My singe 29 ran a labbed 4 blade 26" with a 500efi.....525's got just a bit more torque and HP.....

I have a labbed prop coming with it, not sure the size. I'll check it out and play around with both.

It came in tonight at 9:30 pm, I didn't even know the boat came with 380 K-planes! My kids were bouncing off the wall and are now so jacked up they can get to sleep. Purchased an impeller housing, and two new batteries, hope to out to on the water before dinner! Brand new trailer too! It came in pretty damn good condition even for my standards, once I get hold of it, it's gonna f*cking glow!!!

Now my next event is a Tres martin class, two stepped boat over 75mph, that's me!!! Just gonna take a LOOOOng time to come up with that $$$.

Labbed prop is a Bravo 26p 4blade. Not sure what i have on there now.

What were the speeds you were getting with each respective prop?

So what your impression of what you have so far?


Uncle Dave

Here and ready when you need it.

I "need" it now! Just not $$$ ready!!!

Boat is in great shape, going to replace batteries, impeller kit, etc.. and then hopefully take her out later today. Just different kind of boat, my PQ was "tall" out of the water, the sides of the boat were much bigger. I was happy to see it came with 380s and I have yet to see it in the daylight. He has a 9inch steering extension which helps when sitting down, I think I've sat down in my seat a total of 5 times in 3 yrs, a little uncomfortable while standing, so I'll get the 3" extension and I should be good to go. I'll update later tonight.

i certainly love my lavey they are really great machines you wont be disappointed.....

I looked through my mails trying to figure out which PQ you had, Im curious. Sounds like you are making it your "own" with tweaks and new pieces.

Yeah 380 K planes are the bomb.

I'm primarily a sit down guy, but I do mix both on marathon ocean runs .

My 29 was closed bow...best speeds I saw was 75mph...
Yours may not do that due to extra weight from "open bow".

There was a great Powerboat mag article 7 years back. They used a 29 Lavey with a 500 efi and they tested 6-8 different props and had all the data for it. It wasn't so much a article about the 29 Lavey but more for the new types of props available. The best they got out of the 29 was 76...cool article because I had the same exact setup.... they did the testing/work for me ...

I would call Lavey and see if the Maximus prop would work. That wasn't around when the article was written but maybe they have some insight on whether it works well with the 29.
