So most importantly...Are you satisfied Gary at this point.

How many people on the boat when testing gary?

Gary Yes All Is Good. :d .........tom 2 Guys And 50 Gallons. So Numbers Will Get Better.

So, it is safe to assume the 600 is making full power?
Gary, the special Merc. prop, is that staying on Babi?
If not, you may want to consider the Hydro P5X.
A fellow over on the Pantera Forum is raving about the performance on his 24' Pantera. If I had the $$, I'd have one on order.
Also, I believe this is the prop Jcap runs and Krak tested...
I'm glad to hear things are better in Superboat land!

I figure slip is 8 %. 4800#s plus two guys and fuel = 5800#s. Gal of gas is 10#s right?

Yes Pat That New Blade Got Her Down To 8% Slip..

You use a 2"spacer or not?

If the engine was spinning 5200rpm the slip would be 8-9%. Even at 5400rpm the slip #s would be great!
Was a drive spacer added? or is that 5 blade prop that much better than the Bravo 1?
Gas weighs about 6lbs per gallon...
