Put my 23P mirage+ on this weekend. Saw 75 @ 5500 and had more to go, and still running 105octane AVgas.(93 should be better) I too would like to see 5700-5800rpm. |

We need to hear more please... :cool: |
Re: Mike Fountain Pantera 24' SE pics.
T-Mone has all the notes on all the props we tested that day but he's being a slacker as far as posting them here. What I can tell you is this, when I drove the boat it felt like a completely different boat. As you guys know, when running a three blade on these narrow boats you need to "drive" the boat with a little wheel input to keep it balanced in rough water, of course you do with any boat but you guys that own these boats know what I'm talking about. Handling improves with a four blade and even more with a five blade. It's like the boat drives itself, you don't need to make corrections, it just goes straight, at 80 in a 1-3 ft chop. Into them, with them and quartering them the results are all the same. We were a little overpropped and had added 100lbs of weight to the bow before so the setup wasn't perfect for this prop but it was close. I'm interested to see how it does as far as midrange in 3-5 footers. It was an out of the box (not labbed) Hydromotive P5X. I don't know about the pitch, I'll let T-Mone post that

Re: Mike Fountain Pantera 24' SE pics.
I spoke to Julie briefly about that day of testing.
That 5 blade cost over $1K! |

Well Storm, we'll just have to hope for some used ones to surface then... But remember, a good prop is the easiest way to make your boat perform better... If you consider all the $$ we poor into our rigger just to gain a few mph, $1,000 may not be so bad... :drink: |
Re: Mike Fountain Pantera 24' SE pics.
Well, there is a way to put a silver lining on the $$.
It cost just a bit more than a new labbed bravo1! :D |
Re: Mike Fountain Pantera 24' SE pics.

its a tech sun trailer they are made out of houston tx and they do a bad ass trailer!! mine has led lights, stainless hardware, disc brakes with stainless calipers, and the cool thing about the brakes is when you back up there is like a line lock solenoid that is powered off the reverse lights that locks up and doesent allow the brakes to work!! the system works great!! talk to stuart over there the phone number is 800 499 7079 and tell him that mike with the 24 pantera sent you. they deliver to florida for like 2-300 bucks.

Re: Mike Fountain Pantera 24' SE pics.
the boat ran great!! So far i have gotten 72 on gps with a 26 4 blade turning 4900 rpm. The boat needs to be around 5500 so i am going to try a 24 4 blade and see what happens?? That 72 was hit with 3 225# guys and a 3/4 tank fuel so I would say there is more in it !! I even have a 2" imco shorty i might try??
|
Re: Mike Fountain Pantera 24' SE pics.
does anyone know anybody looking for a new 24?? After riding in this 24 i would love to step up to a 28 so any one interested give me a shout!!
