Congrats on the good numbers and awesome looking boat!

I was in long island sound during the "mess" and did a 100+ mile trip back from montauk... wishing I had stand-up bolsters right now... damn.

Montauk and back- nice!

I put almost 8 hours on her this weekend, was hoping to break 10 hours, but had to cut yesterdays trip short. The wind picked up around 11 30 AM and the bay was a MESS. I ran for an hour or so and then just decided to call it a day

Hey Sean, what numbers do you think you will see when she is dialed in ???:grinser010:

I dont think 80-82 is out of the question...if I go with some top end props, but for now, I do like the mid range from the bravos, its definitly a good 'starter' prop. I think when we raise the engines this weekend, we will get a better idea

What other props will you be testing with?

Here are some images:

The Chopper and Lightning might give you better control at the higher RPMs

Next would probvably be a 30 " bravo. Then after that, try a three blade to see how it feels. Coen thinks three blade will be the way to go

Correction,

The Chopper and Lightning will give you better top end...but will NOT give you better control at all.

I remember on my 27 Activator with a single MRD I/O the Lightning style prop made the 27 slide at turns.

I hope R doesn't de-list "Activator" boats here too :grinser010:

muhahahahaha

If you need more RPMs why are you putting in a bigger wheel :eek:

noli 06-03-2010 01:11 PM

woops my bad...you're putting in a bigger wheel because you're raising the engines...I get it

Please let us know how she does this weekend
