Tabs we don't need no stinking tabs.

Unless its big water keep the tabs all the way up.

TR I think slip should be 10% to 12%. These are big singal engine boats 6-8% is probably not realistic

Hey Vicious boy,what do you think my slip ratio is.I do agree with Steve,you guys are stuck on the Hydro,try the Bravo blades I think you will like them alot better,better hole shot,better cruise speed at less RPM and never any BLOWOUT. :cool:

I have a 28P Bravo right now. Steve is correct it does perform better than the hydro. BUT.......It also mades the boat AZZ end feel very heavy. In 2-3 footers it makes the boat plow through where the Hydro allows you to skip across and we all know how awesome that feels. The bravo make me feel like I'm in my old Baja Outlaw. I'm staying with the Hydro and staying on top of the water. :D M2C

Anyway TURNERRD,

I tried what you said and...........It worked. Pulled my tabs set the drive to 7 and picked up 100 rpms. New plugs, 3/4 tank of gas, slight chop, GPS speed was 82.1. Not bad. Thanks...... I might be able to take Steve yet. :drink:

As far as running you guys. It's all good fun. If I have what it takes to get by you guys...that's cool but some guy with a bigger wallet is gonna check out on me. But it's still fun.
