Hey all, I'm putting together my Scarab here in a few weeks, it's a 31' Excel Kevlar "school boat", & is getting new 500ish hp fuel injected n/a big blocks, and I'm wondering about which way to spin the props? My last 31' scarab had stock 454s and spun out obviously, but i want every last mph out of this one, so i was wondering if anyone has played with prop direction on this Hull? I know docking is supposed to be a little worse, but i can work with that if it will give me any gains on performance? Stock height Bravos with 4 blades. Anyone?

With the bravo 30's it made it chine walk alittle above 83-85. Other than that felt about the same. That boat was always super easy around the docks so I'm sure that will not be an issue.
As I sit here and type this it reminds me that I still owe you the carpet out of the boat. Dammit! Sorry

I have a feeling this set up will probably have me at high 70s or 80 so maybe it will work well. Were you spinning in or out? And yeah i didn't wanna keep bugging ya about it so i was gonna try and make the old ladys mom try and make me carpet. Lol i will pay shipping if you could send it to me tho!!!! It's almost boating season. Lol
