I guess I started the question... :rolleyes:
Dave M. had to modify his hatch for the new 496.
It looks like it fit in Tim's boat though.
Looking Great!
Good Luck with Her Tim... :drink:

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

The wait is finally over and I picked up the boat last night.

What fun pulling a boat through NY City Friday rush hour traffic.

Ahhh, but it looks good.

Re: New Superboater !!!!

Splashed your baby today. Enjoy the pics. JC and Johnny Lightning took her out for her shake down.

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

TIM GLAD YOU GOT YOUR BOAT !!!!!! ENJOY HER, SHE LOOKS GREAT !!!! :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Im very happy to see that 24 has a new home....Simply looks Awesome!
How's she sound with the muffler tips?

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Looks great Tim. Enjoy!

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

The boat sounds real good, not so loud that I am being noticed by the wrong people, but enough bark so that you know I'm there.

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

The 24 is finally at home, and am I having a blast with it.. Still need to dial in the prop, but out of the box it's running great.

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Tim Glad To Hear All Is Well And Boat Is Home !!! What #'s Are You Getting With The 375????

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

get back to us with those #'s...........Rich at Superboat said she runs strong!....That is one sweet picture!

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

After a week of pure fun with the boat, I am pleased. Other than a broken gas gauge the boat is working well.

As for the numbers. After much prop testing I was able to pull 73 (GPS) out of her with two people in the boat.

I ordered a new prop today to get the RPM where it belongs. I'll let you know the results.

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

26p Bravo I will be a great choice...

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

T- island,
Looks great going across the water. I guess I'll have to order a new one myself if I can't talk Pat out of his.
PS Love the Rat Fink!!
I tried to send a pic of my rat fink and the file is too large

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

26p Bravo I is what I have on there now. Not enough prop. I ran a 27 last week (Mirage +), still not enough prop. No mid range, good top end.

The lab finish boys tell me the 28 is the answer.

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Your numbers sound right on with 375 HP. You may be able to squeeze another 2 MPH out of her. What prop are you using?

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Boat looks good! Speed sounds good. Another happy Superboater.

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

My boat runs 75mph spinning a stock 28p Bravo I.
502MPI spinning 4800rpm...
It sounds like those new 496s make a little more power than the old 454s and 502s.
Good Luck!
She looks Great... :drink:

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Pat, where do you cruise rpm wise, and what speeds?

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Tim glad all is going well for you with your new 24'. Your speeds are impressive.

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Storm, It all depends on the water conditions...
Anywhere between 3000rpm (about 45mph) and 4000rpm (about 60mph).
If you run with T-Mone, 4800rpm no matter what... :eek:

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Hey Pat,
When we going over to Claudios again? We should get together and head over soon. I just wrote out a check to the state for my noise violation looks like GGB mufflers are the way I am going to go. Storm I am at 3000 Rpm running at around 50 mph with the 5 blade. Tim real nice boat best of luck with it.

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

How come JC didn't give you the correct prop when it left the shop? Is the prop you are given the one that HE likes?

Re: New Superboater !!!!
 

Well, you would need to ask JC that one. But I think you are right.

Oh by the way, good thing he did. I still do not have the 28. The one that Merc sent was the "wrong prop".

Still waiting on the replacement.
