It's so nice to have friends to keep your engines oiled up for you. Thanks Matt.

Thanks Petrick, I can't afford props, Heee! We are going to try B1's first. Any suggestions? I have a new set of 34's might be to much but the prop calculater with 12 % slip @ 6000 rpm's shows 112 MPH.

The B1 is always a great prop to start with. They work well on all kinds of boats and can be alter easily for even better performance by BBlades and others.
I also like the Hydro P5X which I'm told is a 5 blade version of the B1. The P5X is a prop that should be left in its stock form.
My experiences are mostly on single engine boats that only top out in the 80mph range though.
Good Luck with your adventure!
It has been great to watch her come together...

You need to buy sets of B1's from 29's to 34's that way I will have lots to choose from at a huge discounted price, only fair cause they are used once you open the boxes and got them wet.

Your talking around 190 hrs to rig the boat. Nice work on there part but start feeding them some "blow" to get them moving a little quicker, it will be alot cheaper.
