    Which one first?

    OK!! Senoir management has signed off on a new four blade Turbo Offshore1 and a set of Smart Tabs. Since both will effect WOT as well as other performance characteristics, it only seems logical to do one at a time and base the selection of the latter upon the effect of the former....... Make...

    Knockin' the bottom out of it.....!

    I read a recent post in which Dhadley talked about the newer hubs failing to provide the same lower unit protection as the older rubber hubs. I've heard for years about the danger of tearing up the output shaft and gears when hitting something, but in thirty years of bottom knockin', I've never...

    Rehub the bloody thing EVERY year.....

    I'm turning a P17X15 (or 15X17P) Viper with a '98 150 Johnson. I have to rehub the thing EVERY SINGLE YEAR! I spun it again while on vacation in the Keys this year and it left me on the beach for three days. I switched prop shops, had it done again, and it spun the second day out! I went back to...

    OK....It's gonna be a four blader....

    Ok...It's gonna be a four blader. I need to grip and grab the water off shore, get up on a plane and stay there at a lower speed and RPM, so I don't jump off the back of the waves and beat us all to death. Light 21' CC w/ 150 Johnson and T-top used for fishin'. Top end means nothing to me! The...

    Need new prop!

    I've tried to post this before, but I haven't seen it, so I hope I'm not double posting. I own a '98 Sea Pro 210CC w/ T-top, powered by '98 Johnson 150, twisting 15X17 OMC Viper. With me alone on board and half tank of fuel, I'm turning up ~5600 RPM. With family and fishing gear on board it's...
