Boats looking good Mike, good to see your back on the water. I may go for one more ride this weekend if the weather does what they say. Your prop dilemma is interesting, I agree with Scott you should find an untouched 28 and see what happens, seems like you should be in that 28-30 range with that HP. Your builder would know best but I wouldnt spin it past 5400. I might be worth calling BBlades and getting his opinion on the prop. Also when if you are trying 3 blades I was told the standard Mirage worked better than the plus on our hull.

Ill be around here, most likely sunday.

What heads are on it now ? Also out of couriosity what kind of compression are you running ? Yeah I didn't figure you were making a ton of boost with a M1 on 598 cu"
As for the props if the 28 has been messed with it may not be the best baseline.. it did slip quite a bit more than the 26 did & not know whats been done to who knows ?? In my opinion its gonna be hard to run a 3 blade on a 28' deep V with any efficiancy.. It would be really nice to find someone that would let you borrow a 2" or 3" shorty.. Even with the drive burried that deep I would have guessed it would have turned the a bit harder but its always easier to say that in theory.. haha.. Scott, i forgot to answer your other question. Compression is 8.9:1, and timing set at 30'. Again, built with very mild cam and all the "good" parts, and built to last (whatever that means. hehe) |
mike, did you get to try out some props this weekend? i went out sunday, saw your boat in the well on the river. was beautiful out but a little flat, sorry to say thats my last ride for this year, gonna winterize this week i think.

Bump, can't believe it's been over ten years since there's been a post on this thread.
Hotjava - did you sell your boat? Thought that was your 28 listed in 2018. |
Here’s a photo of one at last years Shootout.

Sold a few years ago, I believe it has been resold since. Miss it, but season is short here and have other obligations with the kids these days. Was a great boat, may have another one in the future, the newer outboard boat and 34 with Illmors are both awesome.
