I HAVE A 26 AMERICAN OFFSHORE WITH A LITTLE MORE HORSE POWER BUT RUNNING A XR DRIVE
I RUN ABOUT A 1000HP WITH 1:50 GEARS AND A 32 PITCH 4 BLADE.IF THAT HELPS ANY.
IF NOT CALL JEFF BLOSDALE IN HAVASU HE'S BUILT 3 OR 4 26FT. AMERICAN OFFSHORE 928-453-1050
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.

jeff built my fisrt motor in my 26 american offshore it was a 471cu running 6 pounds of boost.my last set up was was 14 pounds boost 1.36 drive 28 pitch reworked to a 29.
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.
fasterdammit,are you the guy thats there every weekend.i always see a guy with a ao floating around working on it.its always docked up by the damm.
Oh shit, you saw me wrenchin on my boat! I hate that! I've been doing a lot of tuning and changes lately. Motor went in about a month ago. New xr drive 2 weeks ago. Full MSD system last week. I'm ready for ralaxation soon!
