also, has anyone ever raced a 31 sutphen with ob's??????? maybe hearing their input would be able to help you out. if you really want the mph, put through hull pickups, jack them up, and run cleavers. when you start surfacing a mirage/bravo style prop it isnt going to like it

Yes, Bob McCoy. :party-smiley-004:

i bet that windshields good for about -4MPH haha

Actually Richie did say 4 MPH for the windshield I sh it you not!.LOL

I have low water pickups on the hull already so I can jack it to the sky~!

I didnt have my GPS hand held with me and I wasnt planning on running it hard the first day out with new lowers just ended up that way So kiss my AZZ.LOL

I dont know of anyone who raced an OB 31 Only 31 spirit I know of that raced was GA!

I m just playing with it. My 26 rum runner had 260 carbed mercs and ran 27 pitch 3 blade props. I always thought 24 4 blades seemed a bit small for this set up with the torque of the 300x motors, So I figured Id look for some expert advice, but you guys are OK to answer too! hahahahahah



I figured Highlife would be here by now too, hes MR. 300x or maybe Jimmy knowles.

To be honest its the first time I even had the smart craft on RPM I am usually keeping and eye on water temp.

I rarely push the boat. I dont want to break it, thats reserved for the drag cars!:drink:

If it really is 4 mph than you should rig it up so that if u want to flat out run you can pull some pins take the windshield off, change the props and Ur off to the races

thats a good Idea!


My luck it would bounce off and decapitate me though.LOL:eek:

Would be cool to be able to put it on and off easily but I like it for poker runs because I can actually talk to people and have a conversation while running the boat.

No Idea where the limiter would be set on a 300X

30ctsutphen 05-04-2011 09:40 PM

looks like the rev limiter at least in 2003 was set at 6800 RPM

Mine are 2005's so not sure if there was a change
