U Never Know

Ready 123 its clear you belive every thing you read on a web site and then its fact to you . some times in the real world thing are not the same as on papers . you also do not unders stand engine loading or how speed can effect fuel burn some of the stuff you have said is correct sometimes . you see...

Dito on the fuel its more then that ($300)1 way for me

ready123 , as fas the other trojan like mine , has worked with sevral props shops trying to inprove the numbers but still can't get near mine with the 4 blades , as far the bow running low rember I am running diesels that are heavier the the gas engings it came with . trim tabs can only lower the bo...

thelast322 lets make it 100% hope to see you there !

wet wonder , sorry we have gone of track . you need to try that 13x10 prop and see what happens even ready 123 agrees on that if you bottom is clean incl thr running gear you engine should be turning 4000 -4200 if you can't turn up that high with the 13x10 then you could have a engine issue . change...

ready123 Fact 4 blades have more drag there for are less efficient . true in many cases 4 blades give more lift , but not always so it not a fact , and what makes more lift good ? on my boat it would be a bad thing as I have a bow that rides too low at speed . the same boat as mine with the same eng...

Not on mine or my last one . the volt meter is after the switch and will not read un less tthe switch(s) are on

Michael , where do you find your facts ? "Huh... it is a known fact that 4 blades get boats on plane quicker" Fact ??? I do not think so some times that maybe true but sometimes it is not not . You say you lost speed but saved fuel . I said you would have gotten the same results by slowing...

"I still maintain he will get on plane faster have a more stable boat and better economy with correct 4 blade " I say he will get on plane faster and burn less fuel with the correct 3 blade prop . as far as a more stable boat I do not thimk there would be a difference at all . but thats so...

A 4 blade whould even need less pich . and to be honest a 4 blade wouls be a poor choice on your boat it would run better with a 3 blade IMO. Why do you think it will run worse with a 4 blade? I consider that they get the boat on plane at a lower speed to be an advantage especially in heavy seas......

The 13x10 is a good start . It will be closer then what ever you have how . If for some reson you go to a 14' and the RPMs where in spec with the 13 then you would have to go down in pitch to say a 14x9 to keep the same rpm .But if the rpm is hi then a 14X10 may be what you need . A 4 blade whould e...

The 13 x 10 should be real close is your eng a 5.7 chevy or a 5.8 ford ? I was thinking the 233hp was a ford but could be wrong . you should turning closer to 4000 rpm maybe 4400 if its a chevy at WOT .

make sure your tach is right


is the bottom clean ? if so you are way over proped

Fine Job ! looks great ! let me know when your ready to start on mine .LOL

congrats also ,The F30 is a fine boat. All good advice given above watch th shaft and rudder packing be ready to tigten up / or repack an liltle leaking is to be expected . I would worry some what about the old fuel . carry extra fillters with you . extra points spend the money on sea tow / tow boat...
