hey went to lake today. i have found 2 problems beleave it or not. i meet this guy at the dock who was pulling his boat out "bullet race / bass boat" and began to chit chat with him. i told him i was there to get some results for u on iboat forum. he said great and ask me if i needed some help. not knowing what i was really looking for i told him sure thinking maybe he could help with your test sheet questions.
after clearing the no wake zone i gunned the throttle and immediattly he said woh woh woh so i stopped the boat he said do u mind if i give the driver seat a try i said sure. he gunned it to WOT 1st thing then let right out of it and said the first thing i have wrong is a slipping prop. so we went back to dock and we pulled prop he marked it with a sharpie and we went back out and gunned it to WOT and right back in. we pulled the prop and it was spun on the hub.. (sending the ballistic 23 pitch ss to prop shop monday for new hub)
then we put on the solas 21 alum... and just after the bouy he gunned it and it jummed right out on plane. he ran it for about 60 seconds and slowed the boat to 1/2 throttle. we returned to dock and he said 1st thing i should get is a new tach as mine was way off.
he said bout should run 50 with prop fixed and a tach so i could get the rpms to 4800 he said he did not think the boat was turning 5500 but hard to tell with bad prop and tach.
will drop u a line in a few weeks as i get this fixed
