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?

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.
