83-85.

65 or 110 tied to my boat

ill tell ya what scarab j i will race ya at the jacksonville poker run and we will see !!?? Any one else going to attend ??

how are the quad roters looking??

i dunno i have not figured out if they are supposed to be mounted on the top side or bottom of the block?? na they are coming along ok!! short blocks should be together this weekend and beginning of next week!! the poker run it right around the corner!!

Your boat should run real close to 80 and will do it in a 2 ft chop. Do yourself a favor and call Hydromotive or Throttle Up. We (T-Mone, Throttle Up, Hydromotive and myself) did a bunch of prop testing this spring and the 24 Pantera really likes the 5 blade prop. They have a few different ones but T-Mone ordered one at the end of our testing. It came on plane great, was tied with the fastest 3 blade (GPS) and made the boat handle so much better than before. We were on Tampa Bay with a good honest 1-2 ft chop with the occasional 3+ and with the 5 blade you did not have to "drive" the boat so much. While I think it is self gratifying and fun to drive a 7' beam boat through nice rough water at 65-70 it gets nerve racking at 80. I will call T-Mone and have him post the hard numbers from all the different props we tested. Good luck with the new boat, It's looking good.

i will be testing the boat today and i would like to try a 5 blade if jo has one ?? is there a prop swap that would allow you to try different props without buying a bunch ?? what pitch did he use and what hp did he have ??

approx. 585 hp, and if I remember correctly it was a 26 pitch but we could only twist about 5100 but he ordered a 24 because he wants to be around 5600-5800. Our best GPS speed was 81.7 but it was rough and humid

How was the testing?

Lets see some running pictures!!

yes do tell
