Out of curiosity what are you turning that engine ? I assume that's through a 1.5 ratio ?

oops it was 8 to 14 ft water not 41, on my boat been thinking of trying a p5 trans lifting prop.

Artie, while in Miami, I spoke with several very experienced riggers concerning your boat. They all stated, you've got to remove the hook in the hull.

Red face

oh with the hp I have a bravo is not the ansewer, KONRAD BABY its bigger, meaner, and shorter. if the guy with the 31 sutphen didn't recut for twins, I would of paid the 14 gs and stripped the saber of its power and sold it. I know its bottoms are straight, no hook no rocker, no pads, not even a step. but boy that new OUTERLIMITS 29 running 97 with a 525 and 4 or 5 steps is BAD AZZ. hope to run that with twice the hp. later

they were going to use a friends 525 for testing, was the talk a while ago. it was boxers spare motor. 600hp not dialed in yet 97 sweet. since boxer is putting custom power back in his old/ new 26 sutphen. the 31 he has runs 92 to 94 with 950hp. so if the bottom gets done I should be around a 100. my drive height at , propshaft worked great at 3''/4'' and 5'' got on plane easy with the 4 and 5 blades. if I only had a extra 100,000 kicking around I could of bought a 29 ol. boy 1100hp in one of them wow.
