I see that you're from Utica, you're only about 30 mins from me! Where do you boat, Oneida Lake? I'm on the north shore of the lake, right near Stern Drive Specialist.

cool, yea, im outside of boston as well. im in peabody ma.
im not selling my prop, i want it for a spare. i would be willing to ship it out to you to try it out so you know if you wanted to cover shipping. its a new prop last year.

i went with a 24 and had it labbed etc, not worth it. i got nothing out of it but maybe 1 mph at the very most.
it gets on plane slower, has the same cruz speed at 3k, 3200k and 3400k.

I couldn't do that, but I really appreciate the offer! I will definitely keep that in mind when I'm ready to buy though. I've always heard good things about having a prop labbed, but at the same time I would be pissed if I dinged it up. Again, thanks for the offer, but I wouldn't want something to happen to it and have to replace it for you.

Yeah we have been going up on oneida, going up to the thousand islands for the 4th. I usually launch at Holmes marina on the sylvan beach end. We plan on being out saturday for frogfest at verona beach if it doesnt turn out to be a washout like they are forecasting. Im going to have to verify what my tach is reading once more, I would like to try a 22 on it though and see what happens. Also hoping my guy calls me tommorow and says my windshield is ready! Took all the glass out and having it blacked out. Or I will be running a what appears to be sanford and sons boat lol.

We'll be down at Sylvan Beach on Saturday (weather permitting). A bunch of us go every year for my b-day and usually party at the Crazy Clam. I was hoping to bring the boat and tie up in the canal so no one would have to drive afterwards. I guess now we'll be playing it by ear...

We usually hang out at 3 Mile Bay, not sure if you ever make it down there or not. June 27th should be a great time down there, it use to be the Pig Roast every year but they aren't doing it this year. People are still going, it's tradition!!! I'll have to keep my eye out for the S&S windshield or a blacked out one. Anyways, if you want to try my prop you're more than welcome. I run a 23p Mirage 3 blade, or like you said a 22p Bravo 4 blade would probably work best. Let me know, I can meet you at the launch or something.

my offer stands for you as well. gotta help out a fellow checkmater, and id hate to see you guys go threw the pains of the prop game like i have been doing.
however, you brake it, you buy it. lol

We'll be over on canal a little earlier then going over to verona beach. I know where 3 mile bay is, just got the boat this year and have not been down there yet, I finally have a big enough boat to hang out in the bay lol! Thanks for that offer of trying the prop out too, Im going to double check my R's when were out. And yea hoping for the blackout tomorow not the S&S. My boat is completely red with no graphics on it yet and it will have a black or no windshield lol.

For what it's worth, I also tried a labbed 24 Bravo on my boat and it didn't pick up any speed at WOT however it was down about 300-400 RPM compared to the 22 Bravo. It took longer to plane off and just seemed to be in a bind all of the time, so I went back with a stock 22 Bravo and I'm much happier.

generalee31184

Pretty sure yall are making me lean to that stock 22 bravo....

Just curious if yall know or could tell me how much water my boat is drafting? We are planning a trip to unfamiliar waters this weekend and want to make sure im safe there.
