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

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?

I like slow boats...fast boats suck!

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?????
