81.8 on the bay, need some prop help needed yet. 70+ in 3-5's on the ocean was really fun. Jo can drive!

that's a great speed for that boat , just remember that JO will get every last mph out of that boat and it won't be a everyday top speed once you have some fuel and equipment in the boat .
but the good thing is with that speed you should be able to run very close to 80mph all the time :) Have fun, but be careful out there in the water mike |
The weather was really bad all day today. Had a hard time getting a good run in the bay with light rain hitting me in the face but got it up to 81.8 MPH with 3/4 tank of fuel bumping the rev limiter at 5450 RPM with the biggest prop I had which was a 30 pitch Hydromotive 4 blade that was labbed. We are at 18 - 19 % slip with this prop but it handles awesome in rough water.Real confused 3-5 footers today out in the ocean and we could run 70 plus on GPS with 3 on board and 3/4 fuel.
Brett at B-Blades is going to do a custom 32' pitch Bravo 1 which should get us to 5300 RPM and slip in the 15 % range and his calculation is 87-88 MPH on GPS. I am confident it will do it soon. Might try to go out one more time this week before the boat heads up North. Mark, I am glad you and your wife really enjoyed the boat today. JO |

Congratulations mark !!!! & wifey !!!!!!!
This boat is sick. One of my instant favorites !!!! Not overly flashy, but demands attention !!!! Bad a$$. Nice mph for a loaded down boat too MD |
Thanks guys,
It was worth the wait. I wish I lived down here and could boat year round with you guys. P.S. Jo Please wash all the salt off my boat before the rust eats it up. Haha |
