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...

You were running low to mid 90s last year so 100 is not out of the question...

My boat will get a test ride this weekend weather permitting...

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.

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.
