I recently installed smart tabs in my hurricane 187 I/O. I read tons of reviews and expected some improved performance. I got the 60lb actuator per the recommendation of the nauticus rep. I did a test run over the weekend. I lost about 4mph off my top end. My hole shot was not noticeably...
I recently purchased a stiletto bay pro 2 (4 blade stainless). It's 14 1/4 x 18 pitch. I was replacing the stock aluminum 14.5x19 that came on my 2012 Hurricane 187 sun deck. The engine is a mercruiser 4.3 MPI 220hp. The numbers I was getting on the aluminum prop were as follows:
49 mph at...
I'm planning to re-prop my current boat, a Hurricane 19' deck boat with a 4.3 mpi 220 hp. My current prop is a 14 1/2" by 19" pitch. I use the boat primarily for watersports (skiing and tubing). I'm looking for more hole shot and to keep from slipping while turning.

I'm narrowing my search for a deck boat and I'm leaning towards a used Hurricane. There doesn't seem to be a ton of inventory. However, 1 local dealer has two used 2001 Fundecks:
1) '01 Fundeck FD201 20' w/ 4.3 i/o 190 hp
2) '01 Fundeck FD226 22' w/Merc 150 hp 2 stroke OB
Both boats are...
Hello, new to the forum.
I recently purchased a lake house in the northeastern US and will be buying a boat in the next 4 weeks. I grew up on a lake and have been driving and recreating on boats for many years. However, this will be my first boat purchase. I'm looking to buy a deckboat...
