We need to start a 60mph club. - Page 4

that calculates to 16% slip, not bad, but not real good. How much throttle do you have left in it at 5300? You may want to step up to a 26 p. Using the same slip, that will put you at 73. You should have better slip numbers with that prop

Well, believe this or not, I had the prop on wrong

Maybe affecting the slip %. I had two back washer on it, which had it spaced out about 1/2 inch. I have allot of throttle left. Like, way bunches. I have it all limited thru the ignition. If I had the nuts, I am pretty sure I can turn 6500-7000rpm with that prop.

Well, spent the day converting the trailer from roller to bunk, here are some pics....

I think you need to try another prop, btw, be easy on those hole shots if you want that drive to live. I've converted a couple trailers with that set up, its not easy, but its worth it.

This prop is going to have to work, unless someone wants to trade down to it, for a larger one...LOLOLOL

Not doing any heavy holeshots with it, trying to stay alive

Just was wondering, as I was looking thru here, how many do we have in the 60+ and 70+ club now?

I am in---made a run from Seattle to Cape Flattery and back in less than a day--and it was not opened up===

But the best is 113.4MPH on radar going across Lake Washington---It was CRAZY fast!!

Huh? I give up, Genie has it Aye? Anything over 100 is just plain bragging.

Holly crap......I guess I am going to need to change the rev limiter from 4700rpm to the full boat 6500rpm.

Might get us to triple digits......
