i dont i bought a family boat for a few years and then i will be getting a cat again.here are some numbers for your ride 5100rpm 29p 14slip 136drive 80mph 1.50drive88mph 5100rpm 29p 12slip 136drive 82.2mph 1.50drive91..i think i use to figure my slip at about 12percent.good luck on your new set up,ao's are bad ass.does your have purpple swim steps?
NO purple steps. Mine are white.No graphics. There's another A/O about a block up river with purple graphics. I think he's running a 500hp.
boatnam2 are your numbers to drive ratios backwards??? I think you might have gottin them mixed up..
hulshot,you are correct they are backwards.
Hi Faster,
I have a 26AO!, What type of rpm do you want to see? Typically with that Horsepower I have seen more of the 1:36 ratios used.

Fastcats,
I'm running 5200rpm with the Mach cleaver 1.5 ratio. Like I said before I'm not sure of the pitch (29,30,?) Want to stay closer to 5000rpm. Who has tested the cleaver vs bravo on American Offshores 26.
Looking for 26 AO. any info please email
