Hey reeltime, went out to Matagorda Sunday to test run. Having to play with the prop thing right now. I should be 5500-6000 RPM's at WOT. Had a 19 pitch and got up to 4400 RPM's. Louie at Baumanns thought that would happen, but its better to be low and build up to right prop then to be over on RPM's and still be guessing. But at 4400 RPM's; I was still able to squeeze 37.7 MPH outa of her. I love this boat. I still had a good 5" of freeboard with me on the tower. Boat is awesome.

Nice Whaler!

I've always wanted one of those old Outrages with the low sides. Looked for one for a while but never could find middle ground between a fully restored gem and a water logged project hull.

ATB,

Bill

Thanks man! I enjoy the hell out of it. It really is perfect for fishing by yourself or with one other person.

SJ,
I'm only getting about 5300-5400 at WOT but I couldn't be happier with the performance on my prop. It is a good balance of speed and hole shot. (Nearly spit Reeltime out the back of the boat a couple of times) I think that testing until you find one that does what you want is the way to go. Don't get stuck on a tach reading.

I agree 100% about finding the prop that is to my liking then all about getting all the RPMs I can. I should have it in less then 3 props tested. Louie over at Baumann's is great and working with me to get that done. But i do want to get the right prop to utilize the performance from this motor also. If I jump all over the first prop and was ok at -40 mph and 1500 RPMs of it ability; I should had bought a 90 E-Tec. I really don't plan on opening her up unless I have a clear shot liking running down the ICW.y main concern is hole shot; but with this kinda hp, not really hard to find it. Sorry mont for high jacking the post a pic of your boat thread.

heres my Beast, with a 4-blade 23p prop, she has a holeshot from hell, and it handles very well at 67-68mph. (in a straight line of course)
