We are running 15X32 3-Blade non-labed but on the rev-limiter. Sent them to Brett to get off the limeter but havent had a chance to run them yet. If you getting the new XS go with the 15X34 and let Brett work them. That's what I am planning on doing after talking to Brett.
It looks like we are going to Lake Havasu next month 4/22/10 for the Desert Storm poker run. I hope more SPECTRES can come to the run next month. Tony is sending his 36 and Jay will be there also. I am also running in the Royal Purple Poker Run May 1, 2010 in Lake Pontchartrain.
Thanks,
Tommy

Beautiful boat, TB have you had any gearcase problems yet. Our son has a 28 Skater, with twin 300's on it. He ran 15X34 3 blade Mercury cleavers on it. The gear cases constantly had water in them from the vibration and harmonics that the 3 blade props have. They are fast, but very hard on gearcases if you are surfacing them. Had Brett do a pair of 4 blades, what a difference. Smoother, blistering mid-range acceleration, better rough water handling, lost about 3 mph on the top end, but gained everywere else. The best part, the gear cases dont have any more problems. This is on a boat that was running 75 hrs a year.

Nice spectre, but my eyes keep wandering to that big skater in the background

No we never had any gear case problems. I think Mercury fixed that with the new XS model. I would love to try some 4 blades. Brett did not have a set of 15X34 3 or 4 Blade last time we talked. Good luck with the Skater.

We are leaving next week for the Desert Storm event at Lake Havasu. Come see us Thursday at the street party starting at 12:00 Noon.
Thanks,
Tommy

We will be at the street show---I will see you there next week.

What is the projected top speed of that 32' Spectra with a pair of 300 XS's?

Kap,
Nice talking to you. Yes we will be there next week.
Tommy

I am just guessing but around 105-108 MPH with the right set of wheels. 15X34 Labed up 3 blade cleavers? Thats what brett at BBlades told me.

Comment:
I have been following this thread for awhile I also want to see what this boat will do with the right prop.

The photo of the GPS is required otherwise you get a lot of this and that a posted photo of the GPS calms the natives and makes believers or turns you into a convert asap.

I'm hoping to be a convert here real quick.

P.S. See you in Havasu Tommy B. it will be a worthwhile endeavor.
