We would want Superbabi to get spanked by another 24'.
Especially one with an engine built by a back yard mechanic on a $2500 budget... :eek:

Sorry here we go !!!!!!

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Superbabi is looking great!
So what prop are you running?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

My cheeks where flappin!!! I hear there's a new Army boat sportin a Superboat sticker. help me out here Gary!

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

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................

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

3 superboats at superboat !!!!!

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

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

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

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. :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

14% slip is high to me.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Yes Tom we need to get the slip down. :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

You had a 5 blade on did you not?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

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! :rolleyes:
Listen to Bash and Patrick, test with stock props... :drink:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

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

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Well a Bravo is over-rated on pitch. A 30 is more like a 29 and when you lab it it slips even more. Thats how I came up with my slip numbers.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

I think the five blades are coming next Tuesday with the rep. He says he can dial it in. I like the way the left hand prop rides, doesn't do that "over to the left thing".

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

the 5 bld max is a mean prop. every boat i have tryed them on picks up across the board. lefty worked well on my kryptonite. godd luck guy's.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

What are you changing to run the lefty?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Tom We Used A Lefty. No Need To Change A Thing.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Tom,
The new XR can run in reverse (forward for the left hand prop). The Merc rep told us that.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

How do you do that? Change the shift linkage?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

At the shift lever.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Nice. Why is it better to the left. Offset the engine torque?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Hay Ga;
Looks like you and Rick did some cruising last weekend. I bet your getting more comfortable with a little seat time...Looks as though you had a hard time getting Rick to relinquish the driving duties to you...Keep us posted on merc's return
