James
how are you making out with your project?
I though I have not heard from you because you were
out beating on that new avs.

Scarab J I do know who doug fisk is I met him a few years back at the shootout here just after he wrecked the baja he was still on crutches, as for the volvo setup it's hard to say because I have no idea what their proppeller pitches mean f4 etc. how many inches of pitch is it? but that would be a fair sounding number with that power assuming that those dual props are more effecient.

Hey Bilgerat, Im actually the one building the two 600hp chevys for the 33avs posted under liquorman. Thanks for the helpful reply, but that just brought up more questions, like with the 1.36 gears, what props might work best, I guess what Im thinking is Im currently turning 28's 5100 rpms on stock 502 415hp, so would that mean that I could possibly turn the same props w/ different gears{28p props, 1.36 gears, 5200-5400rpms w/1200hp} Just a crazy idea. Hey one more, how does blade angle affect the handling of a hull like mine, and would swapping the props help the situation any. Thanks again

105/ed Its all ripped apart so now i have the 31 down and the avs down and it has been clear and warm but thats my luck!! i have everything here but the boxes. I have someone very intrested in the 31 so i am working on putting the mags in it. I lost your number so if you could pm me with It i will call you. It looks like i will end up with those 32S we talked about also a pair of 34S maybe. james

James your lucky, my boat is put away for the winter. It was a good summer the boat ran great. the only problems I had was
with the blower belts slipping. I had to put the larger pulleys on it
but with the boost at 4 psi it still ran 108. I may be down your way in the spring and may be looking for a ride.

Scarab what is your setup? and how are you measuring 108 mph ? GPS? what drives props horsepower etc?

Two years ago Mrs Outlaw and I witnessed a 33 AVS roll while performing a high-speed turn in calm water.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a 33 AVS for sale on “boattraderonline”. The selling dealer made public the fact that the 33 AVS he was advertising had been rolled but no damage was done (The 33 AVS I saw on boattraderonline was not the 33 AVS Mrs Outlaw and I saw roll two years ago).

Makes me wonder.
