Default Just picked up new '06 38 Lightning

Hey guys. Back in the saddle again and it feels awesome!! Can't wait to get her out in the water. Boat is beautiful. Staggered 525s. Have a couple questions:

1.what are the best props to run for speed?
2.where can I get some snap in cockpit carpet
3.where is the best source for impeller kits?
4.where is the best source for docking lights?

Thx guys!!

When you figure out what the best props are let me know. mine are BBlades 28P 5 blade. I have XR's with SM lowers and it takes a lot of finesse to get it on plane, top speed 88-89 on analog GPS. Ive seen other Manufacturers 38's and 39's tested in PB magazine with staggered 525"s that have 30 and 32 pitch props hitting around 91. Props can be a real expensive guessing game.

Congrats! You should get that new toy up to the 1000 islands for the PRA run this june! Even just to watch it is a great time

Carpet can be had here http://www.snapincarpet.com/ $450 for thick pile no logo, $550 for thick pile with logo. They will sell you a template kit for $15 bucks, and then credit it back when you order carpet.
