First Ride in my 22" apache was awesome, only dyno hrs on motor and ran flawless. Sounds like a pro stocker at an idle, definetly ALOT of cam duration.
Ran 80 with trimmed @ 1/4, when I go to HYD sreering 82 - 84 is definetly within reach.
what a rush..............

Running a 25P Mirage Plus with some cup, would like to try a Bravo I, maybe a 26P for starters, a local performance marinia has a wall full of props I can try but they are all pretty big offshore props..........
Chine walk is my enemy with this old hull design, if I get lucky the right prop will cure it.
Running more RPM helped,
Your 20" cig is awesome, what kind of power do you have in her?

Well why i did Run "80" I couldn't sustain it due to chine walk, thried a Hydromotive labbed 23p and it is a much "softer" ride as you get full boat lift and chine walk is very lifgt and could sustain 72-74 a good all around prop running 62-64 @ 4,500 RPM
