Should be able to get about 10 mph out of it just from airing it out.So I will be curious as how fast with one person and light fuel.I cruise at 70 at 4100rpm with half gas and 5 or so people and gear.That is the speed I run at most of the time.It is a great boat,Big and heavy and very stable in chop.Motors go to 6300 and I am turning 28 bravo 4 blades that were labbed from Mercury.I am looking at trying to find some 30 3 blade cleavers to try which will be a lot faster but the Bravo is a great all around prop.

They are manual,I cant remember the name,but I will be home next week and get them for you.They are made in Alabama I think?But I ordered them from Eagle One out of Panama City.They were cheaper than ordering direct.I talked to the maker of thre boat and he said that the hydraulic ones would be a waste for this boat.Find the sweet spot and set them and forget them.Believe it or not I made the tab myself.If you want any info on the tab just give me a call at 678-522-4873 and I can give you specifics on how I made it.

That sux:mad: Where did you buy gas and I'll be sure to stay away.

I broke a rocker stud at the end of last summer. I'm redoing my engine as well.
