got a guy here in moss bluff with a 40hp merc that smoke that hinny and near about any other boat around

evis102 06-23-2011 07:32 AM

I have video of my Haynie 23LS doing 70mph and if I put my prop on W's boat it would be even faster. There is alot more to make a boat run fast than the motor. No 250 can come close to the 250XS(not pro) in speed.

Dink 06-23-2011 07:49 AM

Ill stick to my old carbed merc for as long as I can get parts!!!! Have no want for belts, air pumps, and oil changes

"W" 06-23-2011 08:02 AM

Evis...we need to talk....what size prop you have? I have never played with my prop yet...

evis102 06-23-2011 08:16 AM

Bravo 1 XS 26 pitch. It really made my boat run like it should. It will pop your boat up on the pad and runs the rpm of a lower pitch prop with the speed of a higher pitch. Also putting remote mounts on your trolling motor so you can stow it in the back for long runs will add mph. Between the prop and being able to put the trolling motor in the back I can see your boat hitting 70mph

:smokin: I can say one thing looking at the videos of the haynies run on their site and you tube they sure get the bow up and the boat out of the water. I would imagine it contributes to the numbers their getting out of them.

Once I found a prop that would carry the bow up and have enough stern lift to get the boat on it's step pad, it was like a whole new boat. When I get my boat around 5k rpm and start trimming it out, you can feel it pop up and speed up.

You like the bravo 1 xs? Ive been told by another person to try and give that prop a shot, this has me real curious now on how it will do on my rig. Im running 21 Tempest, and I belive the Bravo 1 XS starts at 22pitch soo I dont know if I could wing it without bogging the motor.

Are you sure it is a 22" prop? I've been told you can't have negative slip. (I used the gear ratio listed on merc website)

"W" 06-23-2011 04:56 PM

100 % -ts a 22

If its a cupped prop you have to add one inch to pitch... not sure if his is though just throwing that out there

I'm running the same prop and was curious about what the slip was compared to mine. I'm running at 11% slip. If I add cup will it cut down on my slip and improve performance? Is it worth it?

Yeah W it seems like your RPMs are allready a little low. But the only way to know is to stick it on and try it. You should be close to 6000 now at WOT

Yea, thats why its good to overpower a hull sometimes, you dont have to run the motor as hard, and when you need the xtra balls its dair. "It's allway better to have more horsepower than balls":*****:

No way you can turn a higher pitch prop. If you put a 26 pitch on it you will be around 4,800 rpm's at WOT. Way too low...

Dink 06-24-2011 06:40 AM

I thinking its the last one.......

W.....I had a 19 on my boat and couldn't get it to the correct rpm range WOT........I switched to a 17 larger diameter prop and it got my boat out of the water faster, higher out of the water hole running, put me in the correct range WOT and gave me more top speed.......more pitch isn't always better!!! Just my experience
