That should push his boat nicely.
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.

Up a few; that is 3-5, no?
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:

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...

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.

Slip at 5%, that is a great number!
4 or 5 blade?

z.zuperboat 07-01-2008 06:03 AM

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.
