What engines do you have in your 38' and what props are you running?

Re: Anchoring a 34' viper
 

P.A.
Running stock 575sci's with Maximus 32 pitch that have a bit of extra cup. Really too much prop as I only get to 4900/4950 RPM , would rather have a 30 pitch maximus.

Jim, I was just messin with ya! :D

Actually, as you know, there are a handfull of factors that all play into attaining that magic #. For sure the best time to go for it is early in the morning before you gas up for the weekend. That extra 1000 pounds sure has an impact. ;)

Mac, actually I believe there is quite a bit up to the driver relative to top speed but the time of day , wind and current a;so plays a big part. However even with all that I was supprised the new owner hit 80. I was always frustrated that you guys all seemed to hit that range with the smaller motors but I just figured we had softer water, or sonething.
How is it going with your Viper. Any bites over the winter?

Jim, I took the Vyper off the market last spring for several reasons, not the least of which was the fact I love the boat. My biggest concern was how much TS Guns cost. :rolleyes:

Also, I have been very unhappy at my job and was unsure of what I wanted to do for employment. But I start a new job first of the year so we'll see. ;)

I sent you a PM.
