Hey guys..if you have any pictures of your transom or the bottom of your hull in the rear please post them here or email them to me. I am discovering that my hull is really oddball ....even more than I already knew.

Mine is a twin step notched transom 2006 26zx.. :) Jamie

[SilverBack]

Thanks Jamie!! You have a very nice boat!! DO you have a 502 MAG?? I have a little different bottom on mine but the more that I look there are a lot of different configurations.

[LKSD]

Thank you & you are welcome.. I dont have a 502. I have 496 /625Sci..

[SilverBack]

Sweet.....How fast is it? What prop are you running??

[LKSD]

Right now low 80s on gps depending on water conditions & prop. I feel I could grab a bit more if I continue to play with the props, however my personal time has really been limited. :) J

[SilverBack]

That is great Jamie!! What prop and pitch are you running right now?

enlighten us on the bottom of the hull....I saw the innermost lifting strakes extend all the way to the back of the boat...is that it? we need details man:bonk:

Does yours go all the way to the back? All of mine go all the way to the back but the inner two are very close to the pad and the pad goes all the way to the front.

30B1.. Although I have run a few others on there as well & up to a 32 Maximus 5blade.. ;)

Are you asking me or Silverback? :) Jamie

[SilverBack]

So..Jamie...I guess that you liked the 30 Bravo the best out of all of them. Was there much difference?

[LKSD]

Right now the 30B1 & I added a spacer because my X dim was high with it like that it is the best out of the box unit on my application for consistant results so far.. That said the Maximus 32 5 blade got me the best speed to date and handled really tightly, but it didnt plane or run as consistantly. Actually the 30 Maximus didnt tickle my fancy that well on my boat either. I will probably work the 30b1 over a bit. If I can reduce the slippage a bit more I think it will be faster & still stay consistant.. I just ran out of time to monkey with it anymore this season.. ;) Jamie

[SilverBack]

Thanks for the information!! How many rpms are you turning with the 3 props?

[LKSD]

It varies a a bit, but pretty much between 5100 & 5200 Rpms. We had the rev limiter raised, But I am not keen on running that valvetrain on a boosted application at 54-5600 rpms because of potential extra valvetrain abuse and valve strain.. :) Jamie
