Hey Scott, did you ever finish your spread sheet on motor,boat,prop,speed? If so, I'd like to see it. I thought maybe Scot could put it in the tech section..

I got to thinking about it today I just changed the pitch on my 23" prop to a 25" to drop the rpm a little. my prop guy doesn't think it will hurt my hole shot or midrange too much & I've been hitting the rev. limiter when I get carried away with the trim sometimes..It just keeps raining here in Houston so it doesn't look good for checking things out this weekend. DAMN!

1999 18'
350 mag
alpha 1 drive 1.62 gear
23" marige plus
5000 rpm
68mph speedo

thanx,steve http://www.donzi.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

Pretty efficient system there Riverrat. Your ideal theoretical speed is 67.2 with no slip.

Madpoodle, soon as you finish off that little
dog, come up here and help me get the one next door!
