Hi Pat we are using a 4 blade labed 30". We are still not where we should be in speed. MERC RACING will be here soon to correct this problem. I really want this over with ( the 600. ) THIS COULD GET UGLY IF NOT................

3 superboats at superboat !!!!!

Gary, caculator says your turning 4400rpm? What are you turning?

81.5 is great "BIG G"...
"SuperBash" might have a hard time spanking "Superbabi" for now on!!!

Superbash yes we are getting there, 81.5 is nice but i think we can get a couple more mph. Tom 5200 rpm is what we are getting as of now.

14% slip is high to me.

Yes Tom we need to get the slip down.

You had a 5 blade on did you not?

Babi is running with more like 20% slip from the numbers I'm reading. At 14% she'd be at 86-87mph...
Keith's boat runs at about 13-14% slip with a stock Bravo 1.
Mine is running at 12-13%, but a 24' is lighter and obviously a lot shorter.
Gary, I know your working with the "experts" but from my experience and others on this board, "Labbed" props suck!
Listen to Bash and Patrick, test with stock props...

Merc 5 blade right?
Jcap's running the Hydro round ear 5 blade.
Krak saw good results with the 5 blade Hydro too...
