X dimension on a 41
 

Anyone know what they're running for an x-dimension on the new 41s? I going to put new drives on my 96 since I'm repowering and was wondering if I can go with a 2" shortie.

Spoke with Steve yesterday, looks like I'm buying a 2" shorties and 5 blades :D

Can't wait to see everything done! You wont be the slow boat any more! :)

I'll pick up the crown for you! ;)

You were always the slow boat, shouldn't you be posting in the slow pig resin bucket forum anyway? :D :hitfan:

I like slow boats...fast boats suck!

:D:D

I was looking thru old threads before asking my question and came across this one. Any news on how the shorties and 5 blades performed?

Steve/Ken are working on my 39 which I just repowered. I used XR's with 2" shorty IMCO's. In the process of fine tuning, initial slippage was high (17%) they will be adding 1" spacers. Initial run was with 32 pitch, 5 blade Maxium's. Will also be looking at differences with Hydromotive props. Should be re-testing in next week - will update you on next run.

I ran the fastest with 1 in shortys 20in x and 5 blade hydros.
And I tried them all.

17% doesnt seem that high to me?????
