Sounds like your boat is running pretty good! I have an outboard 30 with XS motors. It runs 103-106 with fuel, beer and people. That is at sea level, salt water, in the summer. Light with one person it has run 108. That was with my old 3 blade merc cleavers. I am running Dewald 5 blades now that run really well. I haven't had a chance to run it light with one person with the new props. Plum Crazy, what props are you running?

What gear ratio? And what RPM are you turning the 4 blades.
|
1.62:1 and 6750 RPM.
|
Are you guys spinning your props in or out? I picked up a 30 with 300X’s and it is set up with then spinning in. Thanks in advance for any reply. |
My props spin out. I believe most 30's with OB's spin out.
|
THanks for the reply. I am going to switch them and see what happens. I have a 1.75 gear ratio and have four blade Brave 1’s and running 104.6 now at 6500 rpm’s. |
My 32 with Optis, didnt like spinning out. Ill handling and the porpoise was too much. With Bravo 1's and spinning in, its a great boat.
