    What rpm do you turn with your 32p? Ya! I know Jeff, but I didn't think to call. He's ussually into bigger motor than mine.

    6000RPMs_____ JEFF HAS BUILT SOME SMALLER MOTORS FOR A FEW FRIENDS OF HIS. MY BOAT USED TO BE JEFFS SO I TRUST HIS OPINION.

    I've got a 26 Rayson Craft it's got 575HP, (502 with a very Mild Vortech) I may bump it up later this summer. Running a Max Machine XR drive with an Imco 1 in shorty lower unit. I will try a Hydromotive 29 and a Bravo 1 28.

    My first run out I had a repitched to 29 Mach sterndriver cleaver. With 5 people and full load of gas and gear it was turning 5100rpm which is where I want to run the rpm. I'm just not sure if the repitched prop is actualy a 29 or more since it started as a 28p. Speedo does'nt work for shit so I'm not real sure on #'s and slip. I,m thinkin could turn a 31 with a lighter load for speed.
    Are you guys going to Havasu this weekend? I'm looking for someone with a prop to try out? I plan on hitin the road about 7:30 toninght. Have a place just below the dam on Parker strip.
