My next boat: Y2k!
#1112
It varied alot because of the water conditions. I ran the tabs down quit a bit to keep the prop in the water the best I could. I would say somewhere in the mid 4k range. I was thinking to put a rev limiter in to keep it there intead of changing props when racing.

Congrats Tom, I got your email, try running a 26b1 or a 25Q4,
with a 5600 chip, should be a lot easyer on your drive, If anything works out for the Worlds you can not be able to go over 75, it not just holding back, preaently I'm running 150lbs in the nose and 100lbs ing the storage locker under the Vbirth in rough water if that helps.

Congrats to your race results as well! I was wondering what weight to run up front. Since I had no experience with the different balance I decided to just run it as is. I'll take you up on your suggestion with the prop and limiter for next time.
Thanks

Hey just picked up the new copy of HotBoat. That's one sharp looking Laveycraft you have there!

By the way, great run, sorry I didn't get to swing by and say howdy in person. You doing the Poker Run?

I want to do the poker run so bad but my tow vehicle is in the shop and i tried all day to find someone that could tow and
co-pilot for me. No luck as the run is in the morning. I wonder if my friends don't like the way I drive the boat!!!!!

If you want the warrenty then get a bigger factory motor...
Custom 598= 40K
Merc 850= 85K
You could have a spare motor and still be ahead
It's all relative... if 80 is fast enough then you can have a nice long warrenty, to go faster you have to give something up. Your not going to hit 100mph in this hull with standard factory motors.
