What size pitch is the prop? How many RPM's is he turning at WOT. I know one thing, if BBlades tuned his prop he is serious about performance.

Go Custom!

Custom made with shock cord bottom seam. Sunbrella material weighs less than 30 lbs. Will not blow off, notice the trap doors on the cover at the tie off cleats.

Very happy with this setup.

Tahoe Performance

I have been boating Tahoe for some time now, there are two things I will promise you. 1) You will lose 18 to 20% of your power due to the lack of oxygen, compared to sea level. 2) The rule of thumb...

The install on the handles was very easy, plenty of room to get the nuts on the handle bolts. Used nylocks and fender washers.

You don't need a ladder!

Install a pair of grab handles. This really has worked well. All you do is grab the handle, place your foot on the trim tab and pull yourself onto the back of the boat.

This is the best upgrade I have done to my boat. Call Robert at Fountain Parts, he supplied me with handles.

When you are stopped for a swim set your tabs at around 5. After your swim simply put...

I don't think so!

There is a 24 at Tahoe that is probably faster. I think he runs mid 90's at 6200 ft elevation. That translates to well over 100 at sea level.

The name of the boat is Skip Along!

Are you saying the slop increased the more the wheel was tilted? Or was the slop there regardless of the tilt position? Who was the manufacturer of the tilt hub?
