Thanks Cary!
We’ve been contemplating props for a while now. John has always had good luck on his 30 Y2K’s both IO and outboard with the bravo props, which John feels is a good go to for a (affordable) base line and I concur. Crunching some #’s with mercury our starting point will be a set of 32 pitch 4 blades. We’ll be spinning them out. I would love to try a set of Max 5 ST’s. Through John’s networking we may have a set of hill 5 blade 32’s to try, but timing is everything, and not sure exactly what they are or if they’ll be available when the tine comes.

I have also been so enamored with the Outerlimits SV 29 w/twin 300’s build for many reasons . Such a sweet build undeniably.
From what I’ve seen thanks to Noli’s posts, they currently have the boat set up with the props “spinning in”with 5 blades. I hinted that I was curious as to what they were running, including gear ratio but didn’t get a response, and at this point so I’m not sure it’s even public knowledge or even relevant to be honest. More curiosity than anything I guess I could call Dan Kleitz but not sure how forthcoming he’d be.
The saga continues....👍

What’s the reasoning behind spinning out

Theories are, better dockside maneuverability with engines being quite close, less stern lift, better prop bite. All subject to individual application, past experience, trial and error, results and of course individual preference.

Gary, I have met and spoke with Dan a few times. Great guy, he'll talk to you about it. I actually have 4bl Bravo's on my 300s now waiting for Chad Hill to build me a set of his new 4s or even the new thru hub 5s. Can't use over the hub wheels with the big lowers... won't plane. Ran a set of his Stock sl5s too big and went faster with the Bravo's. The bravo props are the cheapest best starting point for data....

Well we are making progress! Front seats are in and rear power hatch installed. Now off to P&G Canvas for black sumbrella supreme cockpit cover and a black stamoid transport cover!

Looking great! Any idea what the all up zero fuel weight will be?

Rigged it weighed in at 4790 without the seats. Call it 5000 or just under.

Looks great.

Any chance she'll see the water before freeze-up?

Getting real close! Out getting cockpit cover done and Bimini fitted last week and should be buttoning up the the full cover This week. Which worked out well with last weeks crappy Cold, rainy, windy weather. Have a pair of 32p bravos from mercury to try. One arrived waiting on the second prop. Seems with a warm stretch of weather we’re having, nows the time!!!
