BBP, formal sea trial is happening tomorrow. So I will post the results. Boat was in UT before I got it, so it was built for elevation. Makes the think the 19P is to low.

Guess we will find out tomorrow!

So going up in pitch may not work so good. Unless you're already at at redline. Which I'm sure you're not. Nice lining boat. The good thing about bblades. Is if it doesn't work send it back and get another.

Ran the 4 blade yesterday. 3 blade will get run on Friday. Ran out of time.

The 4 blade was bouncing off the rev limiter at 7/8 of the throttle and very little trim. 5000rpm at 53mph on the GPS. 2 people, 2 big dogs and a full tank.

Seems like it needs more prop.

The 3 blade is a mirage plus, 23P. What they provided from the factory.

More results Friday.

There you go a base line. What kind of prop is the 4 blade. The 232 was always a fast boat. That 23 will be up there. I think the hole shot might be lacking. The hole shot with that 4 blade had to be awesome. Lol

Yea, hole shot is awesome. Gets on plane with 1/4 throttle.

It’s a powertech. 16” in diameter. Nice prop! Probably worked perfectly at 6500ft elevation in Utah

Yes powertech does a good job. 16 inch is big. 21 power tech is What you need it sounds like. 21 Rev maybe right there then. I bet you come closer to 57 with the mirage. I think 60 is a reach but those boats will run 60.
You enjoy the first ride in her though? How did it compare to the 220? Prob pretty close in thinking?

Not quite yet. We are probably still a few weeks away. I'm STILL waiting on the subs to come back from JL, then we have to get them rewired or whatever the heck it is going to take to get them to not blow up every year. I'm anxious to get her out though now that I had the tank pumped out and got all the dang water out of there.
