Re: CMI 496 Sport Tube
Not elusive at all. There have been several posts with details.
Just received my 30 inch back, which is now a 29 wit significant modifications. Will post again once I have had a chance to try it.
My post from 9/20
I have been running them for several weeks with what I would consider fairly good results. I am running a Velocity 290, with a Bravo 1 labbed 28. Started at @ 4900 RPM, 72-73 on spedo. I am now at @5150, 76-77 on spedo, but running out of prop at times. Tried a Bravo 1 labbed 30, but it was a bit too much prop. Ran close to 4900 RPM, but speed was not there. That prop is being worked on now to hopefully allow me to run at 5050, and perhaps gain another MPH or so. Velocity hulls react very well to minimal power, so other hulls may not see the same results. If I maintain a consistent 4, I will be satisfied. I always run above half full on fuel, so that is not an issue.
