Hello Rick,

Where is your limiter set at ? Did you ever try the 26' pitch stock first before having it labbed ?

JO

that guy is a looser anyhow

1st mtr was a 540 w/ 600-625hp ish did 74mph (all the time) 26 pitch

2nd mtr stroked to 580 w/ 750hp (dyno) did 80mph 26 pitch

3rd mtr 580 w/ 900+ just waiting on the SCX to slap on the back and we'll see

It's set at 5600. The pic of my gps was running against the tide. I'm also running a conservative timing advance. Just figured if everything was running good why mess with it, but now I'm wondering what if. lol

Ahhhh! dont do that! You have to speak to DudeSweet now!
he will talk you down.

I have a 27 4 blade bravo.

Might be interested in a trade for a labbed 26. PM me.

Since when did I become a GOOD influence?!

Congrats! Dr Dan! I have been a fan of this boat since it was under construction. That is a beautiful Boat. Lots of luck!

Thanks For all the well wishes, I will be in Lake George this week and after that I should be splashing it in NorthEast, Md as often as I can. Stop by and say hi if you see us.

Polishing the Fenders on the Trailer and doing all the other detail work. It's alot of Elbow Grease - but it's looking good.

Gonna be doing some prop testing once we get a handle on Pantera 101 - but for now not crashing into the Docks or damaging or sinking the Boat seem like my top priorities.

Getting a handle on the spatial characteristics of a new boat are always the initial challenge.

A good friend told me when he was teaching me how to drive my Donzi - never approach any Dock or Pier any faster than you are willing to hit it! Always has worked for me - less is more.

Very good, sound advice!

Danny, you now have a very forgiving and easy boat to drive.
Not terribly sensitive to settings and normally very predictable to drive. Very different from smaller Donzis, although they are very fun. However, no doubt everything changes at over 80!
