MTI 39 props turning in or out?
 

I bought a 39' MTI with no power. Number sixes with big power will be installed. Props turning in or out? What diameter prop works best? Propshaft height above bottom?
Thanks.

i would call gary or randy at MTI, they will get you going in the right direction.....

we need pics.... :D :evilb:

Definatly need pics, what boat is it.
Wheels turn in, Something in the 16.5-16.8 range, No bigger.
Mti's really like Herrrings, Mine would not run at all with Mercs.
I would really call mti and talk to gary about putting the 6's on if it doean't already have them. That a critical Measurement and Gary has a little different twist than some of the other guys.
NOW, where are those pics, we know you didn't buy something with them.

It is a race boat that will be converted to pleasure.

which boat was that? (team/sponsor)

Re: MTI 39 props turning in or out?
 

I never found out. The boat only raced twice. It looks like it collected a lot of dust.

chris reindl???

Re: MTI 39 props turning in or out?
 

The boat is the old "Pacemaker" that was rigged and throttled by Chris Reindl and owned and driven by a heart surgeon in Alabama. The boat was raced only two times and finished once. It was built and sold as a "blank" by MTI and all of the work was done by Reindel in Cincinnati. It sat for about two years with no power in it but with drives etc. It has a "colorful" history.

That is the boat. Never heard the name of the boat, but the owner was a doctor. That also explains the horrible rigging. But that will all change. The boat is being stripped now. Not keeping a single thing in the boat except the throttles. It does have some great Imco 4 x 4's I am selling. See the ad.
