by time you are at 70 it better be flat from there on
when i river rode with full size gearcases
the best working prop for me was the yamaha drag ,,,,,
nothing else would compare
all the big eared props just dont work as well
the thin narrow blades allows slippage and doesnt bite so hard
so allows boat to track better excelling with out getting too loose,,or pulling transom too high
running split shaft and 2 hole cle for full size is good combo,,,sportmaster has torque tab more drag and little slower ,,but safer
i liked the xs150 2/1 gearcase with 25 pitch best,,,,but does not have a lot of life,,but fast,,,,and as loose as the speedmaster,,just not as much speed
great for 1/8 mile
that set up on the hull is hard to beat from 0-100
drive it with respect
especially if running over 200hp
from 80 on theres no playing around in them hulls
driving safety equiptment,wind and water conditions better be right
they were made for max lift at 80mph and 200 hp motor
for mod vp
so when push above be readdy
have fun with it
i like the hulls a lot
and stilll have 2 here
