Typically, I keep going until the speedo stops climbing.

Best thing sounds like I should try out both props and if I need a bit more than the 26, I can always have it labbed, no?

I'm thinking a 28 may be too big too.Would take longer out of the hole and on plane.Heck,a good marina will let you test props at no charge if brought back in good conditon.

As for how far up do I trim it,I really think every boat has it's own "sweet spot".It took me a while to learn where mine likes to be.After I come out of the hole and get on plane I trim all the way up which is about 1/2 of the guage.Once there I just qlick it down just a tad and I can feel the prop BITE and the rpm's go to 5150 and the boat just cruises along.

Why do you want to sell your SCS?
Very nice Ebay ad your wrote up.
Is there another boat you want more than your SCS

502SCS 11-09-2007 09:23 AM

I dont want to sell it.
I need to step up and buy a new house while the market is soft here in florida.
As most of you know I had a stupid b$%^ hit me on my motorcycle in march that had me in a wheel chair for several months and multiple surgeries.
That has depleted a large portion of my savings.
I have the reserve set high enough to not make it a dumb transaction however it still is not an easy deal ...
We do what we have to do sometimes :cool:
