no problem
there is very little rpm differences between the 2 gearcases,50-100 window winding up
when get to limiters usually same
mainly counter breaks down oil faster
the 300rpm is close to a pitch difference,,,,,
so yea change props and if same rpm variable and have em checked,,,,,,

ur boat is awesome,,,,and spending some time to figure it out is a + for every1
im redoing a 97 28 right now and putting the lil 2.5s on it off my 27 ex
so may have to put all 3 on to keep up with these new hulls with 400s,,,,,,,lol

Got my Dewalds back the other day. Weather is real nice here right now. Gonna get them on and give them a run next day or so. Ill post when I get some numbers on they're first tune in. Im sure they'll have to go back at least once more. Steve.

Still have not had the pleasure of seeing this boat in person... Keep us posted on how it runs with the new props.. good luck .

Whats does one of these 318's go for in price range?

IIRC 350k to 400k.

The grey and black 318 that ran 122mph cost over $400k with the TAOD paint job.

Man I almost feel guilty makes mine a bargain.

sold! :)

Hmm, maybe a gently used 368 better way to go

I was told the buyer of the $400k+ 318 replaced his 40 Skater and 32 Skater with that 318. I'm not much different - I sold my 28 Skater and am re-rigging my 30 w/ 400Rs (from Sterlings/ASDSs) to happily go back to just one 30' boat with outboards. Pete said most of the customers for these 318/400R boats are all coming from bigger inboard boats. And I always said the exact same thing you said, until you realize all the negatives that go along with that used, big-power 368 for the same price as a new, warrantied 318/400R.
