the 18 degree rake is probably why u have such a large porpous window with the extra bow weight for rough
rake is trying to lift bow at lower speeds but not enough speed for tunnel to hold it if tried old school 15 degree x32 may close the gap for the rough set up as stated motor height plays big role if set up for max speed up high more slippage and with bow weight for rough ,,may be fighting each other to hold bow below 80 |

Like saying you'll only be sore for a little while and lots of people are doing it now. |
the old humpback 4 bladed cleavers have always been a all around good working prop on 24&28s,,,
david has been making some awesome props but has went to higher rake for these new hulls that are wider and longer so they need more bow lift wish u were close to tx/la as I have just finished rerigging a 28 with 280s and hump 32s 1st time out did all I wanted,,,,,props @ 1 1/2" with 4" set back had smooth ride in 2' chop didn't run in glass to see porpous window,,,,as we runs bay and gulf waters would let u try em,,,,but not mine to send off do u have ur batteries up front or just ballast weight,,,, as I put the batteries in front of dash bulkhead down in the tunnel for rough set up what motors u have as take some the weight out if not batteries and see how feels and porpoise changes,,,,, if motors above 1 5/8 ,,,try lowering to see if porpoise changes couple things to try ,,,,,,beside buying props as daves props are nice would be nice to find some humps or even 3 blades to borrow just to see if it is the rake |
^^^Thanks for the suggestions
I'm going to try to reduce some of the weight first and maybe lower motors. I'm also going to look for some other props to try. |

Ok.....what are these bravo 1s you speak of?
I really only care about ride at this point. If I want to go top speed ape **** fast I'll get in my 40. Also have a 40 Skater race boat now to go do other crazy ****. My 28 was purchased to be my reliable go for a boat ride cooler than a pontoon...so I really don't care if it goes 90 or 120mph. |
