HEY TRIPPS ARE YOU GOING DOWN TO THE RACE WITH THOSE HOT BABES FROM THE SUPERFEST PHOTO.YOU ARE THE GRAND WIZZZARD. ALSO DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE SPEED CALCULATION FORMULA FOR A 1.36 DRIVE THE 1.5 IS RPMXPITCHX.667X.00094697=MPH THAT.667 HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT NUMBER THEN TAKE THE THEORETICAL AND DIVIDED BY THE ACTUALE TO GET THE SLIPPAGE

bam marine site has a nice prop calculator.just punch in your #s

I don't know of a clean number to just multiply by, but here is how I would do it:

Engine Speed (rev./min.) X Drive Ration (1/1.36 or 1/1.5) X Prop Pitch (inches/rev.) X (1ft/12inch) X (1 mile/5280ft) X (60min/1hour) = Theor. Speed

Example: 5000rpm x (1/1.36) x 23in/rev x (1/12) x (1/5280) x (60/1) = 80mph (theor.)

If you have a real efficient hull like a 24' Superboat, your actual speed might be 94% x 80 = 75.2mph

Superfest organizers: Talked to Jcap at the Jersey Boyz meet. Jcap says forget Kismet. I move that we meet at the State Park Tripps recommended and then take it from there. All in favor, say aye.

And what state park is that O grand wizzard tripps

so where are ya tripps? I dont know the name of the marina he was talking about but it is just west of the bridge on the south side of the inlet (or the north shore of fire island) it is east of the democrat point marina or cove and west of the bridge. Ive been in there a few times and it appears to always be empty.If someone knows the official name maybe we can try to get official permission, although I think it is open and free to the public so we probably dont need offical permission.
Hey tripps werent you supposed to send me something?You asked for my address and im still waitin!!
