Summers almost upon us. And so is everyones new power. I have a picture of the kings motor ready to go back in the boat. Low boost and not intercooled. My plates not big enough for this motor.
Is that one of those new 5.0L Whipples? So Mike, are you and Eric going to come east to run with Kendle, Gary H, Anthony, Gregg and I? We had 14-15 boats for our boys trip to Block last year...:drink: |
I am not the king and thats not my motor ! Its Ritchies new blower. Sounds coooool . Im more like the court jester.
Pat I think yes its the new 5.0L. But im not really sure how big it is. Not really up on whipples. Block HMMMMMM |
I was able to get some props to try. They look sweet but how they work only time will tell. So far im up a few from last year.

You were running low to mid 90s last year so 100 is not out of the question...:evilb: My boat will get a test ride this weekend weather permitting...:drink: |
Pat, Let me know if your coming across. I'd come over there but I will be on the deckboat this weekend.

If you are around stop by the dock in Dering HArbor. Just look for the green hulled center console up buy the bridge left side of the harbor at the end... Don |
Pat the prop I tried is not for sale, it worked well . Put my slip at 5%. and 4 more mph than last year. Im sure more time and better water it would have been even more. Had to bring it back. I took a road trip and pick up 2 props. Have to test them sunday.

4 or 5 blade? |
The 5% slip is with a 4 blade. The 5 was better in the midrange but upstairs it tended to push the nose down. To much stern lift. I was able to get myself a 4 blade to thats clean but doesnt work all that well. High slip numbers ! It has to be sent out for some work to make it better.
