I recently bought a 2000 37' Stiletto with 900SC's and #6 Drives, no spacers, no ext. boxes, and 4 blade 17 1/8" 33P Merc. props. The boat is fast and responsive after getting it on plane. But once a year I Pull my newphew in the Catalina Ski race and will need a much better hole shot than the boat has now. The way the boat is set up it's doubtful that it would even pull him up at all. I can sacrafice 15 MPH Top End but need a better hole shot. i have rideen in another 37' that had the same basic set up and the same problem.
Anybody ever tried a 1 1/2 spacer or 5 blade props. has anybody been able to cure this problem without sacraficeing much top end?

I have only had the boat out for 2 hours one day and saw 103 but had some left , didn't want to push with 91 Octane. Boat engine builder has been in the boat at 113 MPH

Sweet, I know 113 is flying, but from what I've read these boats are running 90 with 575's, and around 100 with twin 700's, so I thought it might be a little faster. It is Flying no matter what!!!! Post a pic if you've got any!! Darren
