Finally...the right prop!...
 

3 x 15.25 x 17 SS Honda prop made by Power Tech...got the numbers I've come to love from the Mirage, but w/ out the "rattle" in lower unit it caused...

On GPS, 42mph @ 6 grand @ WOT...cruises 32 @ 4600...apparently this is the first time anybody ever put a Honda 150 on a V20...it's taken months of trial and error...whew!...

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

Thats great!! but what is the 3?? I no the 15 X 17.

Re: Finally...the right prop!...

::) I am not the brightest light bulb

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

Those sound like some good numbers!

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

It looks like you have got it now . Since you are up to speed , we need to get that Southern V20 gathering together .

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

Yeah, 3 blades...haven't done much complainin' about this, but findin' this prop has been a ROYAL pain in the yubangee...thought seriously about tradin' motors, so this is a REAL relief!... ;) ;D...

I guess plowin' new fields gonna turn up big stones... ;D...

Good news, I am happy w/ these numbers and the fuel gauge must be broken cause it just doesn't move much anymore... ;D...

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

labii, you're RIGHT...WE GOTTA do THAT...shall we take a poll?...see how many interested partys are out there?... :)...

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

I'm interested!! But ya'll gotta let me get my little sweetie ready first :)

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

My best shot's probably gonna be late summer...

Interested parties to date: labii, Blue Runner and yours truly...shapin' up to be a REEL THROWDOWN!!

Anybody else wanna hop this train?... 8)...

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

I'd like to, but I don't know if I'll be ready. I might have to wait until next season.. :(

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

Blue...get her ready...somethin' tells me this is gonna happen!...can't you just see a whole string of V20s, on plane, cruising just off shore and idling thru the NO WAKE ZONES in the waterway... 8)...

labii, where's the best place? I'm open to the NC/SC coast...aren't you sportin' around up there somewhere?...I took a "la tourista" boat outta Beaufort to Cape Lookout few years back w/ my daughter's shool group...always wanted to bring mine up there...towing would be about 7-9 hours for me

Jeff, if your boat's not ready this year, plan to come anyway...if we do it once, I got a feelin' it'll happen yearly...

2005...1st Annual V20 Hoedown, Throwdown and Classic Boat Float... :o ;D...

Chesapeake...new shirts, please?!... ;D...

Hey Pipe...can you make it?...

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

I think that Cape Fear would be nice ( South Port / Balhead Island ) . Or maybe we could go up around Morehead / Beaufort area . Both spots would be great. If the weather is good I would like to run out to Frying pan tower before they take it down . It is about a 25-30 mile run from southport and fishing is awsome . There are also a few good waterfront water holes around the area . Simmon's sea skiff owners club does there gathering down there once a year and it seems to go well. "Have Boat Will Travel " and am open to ideas..

Jeff...heck, Man...bring your hull and we'll tow you around!... ;D...

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

If it happens this year and I'm not ready, anyone looking for an extra deck hand (I have digital camera too)??? :-[ I'm certainly no pro (especially away from my home turf) but I'm usually entertaining to watch! ;D

In the mean time, I need to get some time to get crack'n on my boat! :o

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

Oh yeah, I'll even bring gas money!!! ;D

Re: Finally...the right prop!...
 

Hey reel, that puts a whole new twist on water skiing....

I just had a thought. without the motor I should be able to carry two more people...Now if I can find 7 people with oars maybe we can get my boat going! :)
