Just bought it from my uncle b
Just bought it from my uncle boat has always been in the family and my dad said he thinks the boat always ran 55mph...
last time it was loaded when my uncle owned it..the speed pressure dohickie got popped off (i'll soon replace it)
has I think a 19 pitch ss prop on it and it's a 1.5 ratio alpha 1...is 55 mph about right?
should i expect more? should i go with a higher pitch prop liek a 21? or is a 19 ideal for this boat doing pleasure riding and pulling a tube here and there.
can't wait to get the speedo working again and see what it does with just me in it.
here is a video so you can see the hull design..websites say it weighs 2700lbs..i'm guessing thats dry weight. It's not a deep hull at all i would like to see it hit 60mph...maybe thats outta the question or heck it might run that fast nobody acts like they know for sure my uncle says he never really opened it up to see or if he did its been years and years ago and he has forgot haha
