Here are a few of mine. It has a pair of 600 plus motors in it. Runs pretty close to 100. I think with the right props I can get the last 1 or 2 O need to het the century mark

Will Smith is a great guy and a good friend of mine. He's helping us w/ the tooling on our new 41. How many other mfg's would help someone tool up a new , innovative boat? Only one person I know , Will!

I may have a set of 32's you can try depending on how I make out in Sarasota this coming week, I may need 34's --- we'll see. You have more hp than I do....even with the new 540's....

i tried a set of labbed 32's this weekend and dropped me to 5100 but only seen 84 on gps? i lost 6 mph and also took out 200lbs of sand bags out of the front.

That is incredible. I would have never imagined that. I cannot believe you dropped that many rpms, and speed with the Bravo's. Those Maximus props seem the way to go, but they so are dam expensive.

I bought a set of used Bravo 34's, being shipped now. The
32" Bravo's I have now work great, but with the new motors and added hp, I know I need bigger wheels. I would love to try a set of P-5's or Maximus props. (the 32's I have now are not labbed, the labbed 32's you have now may no longer be true 32's if they were labbed by other than Mecury).

I am in Sarasota now, was at Phantom earlier today (Monday). The boat looks great- it is the first time I have seen it since October of last year when I dropped it off with Will at Phantom The 32's are not enough prop - Will had it out already and it was at the rev limiter., I have the 34's on the boat as of today - with Will's help, maybe we will water test tomorrow, or Wednesday here in Sarasota. My 32's are not labbed, but now they need hubs (the hubs that were in the 32's are now in the 34's).

My drives are at least 1" higher than your drives, according to what my father said when he was alive andn looked at your boat. Not sure why such a performance difference in props for you when you had the labbed 32's on your boat, but maybe that is a factor, just my wild ass guess. I hope to be in the upper Chesapeak in two weeks, so if you want to try the 32's no problem. Lloyd's Creek time!!!

I will post pictures, dyno numbers, and all the other bulls*t when I get back for those interested in a 34' Phantom.

I was out with Will Smith and Casey (works for Will) today. The 34's work well for me, I need just a little bit more prop. Here is a prop suprise, the 28's, 30's, and 32's Bravo props that we had own(ed) made the boat jump up on plane no problem, these are stock Bravo stock props. These 34's I just purchased looked labbed (great looking props) and cavatate when getting on plane but cruise well; as Poker Run application (80 mph at 4500 rpm) the 34's are the sh*t and are just about at the rev limiters at WOT. I did not expect the props to cavatate when planing, I expected just the opposite - a lot of bite when getting on plane bite No big deal, I will get Murphy's Propeller Shop to add cup, and blueprint/match the 34's.

I will ask Will Smith about your shirts (Steve -what is your last name - email me at joneslaw@comcast.net) for the shirts, we are going out boating on Friday (weather permitting). I heard this one today at Phantom from the owner of a Fountain Raceboat - Miccousukee, props are like women - every one is different and you never know what to expect - that was true today.

One other thing - I like Sarasota!

my 30's cavatate just just after the boat lays over just a little,but it's not that bad. i took my sand bags out the the front and i can tell a big difference in the whole attitude of the boat. i'm glad to here your getting that boat home soon, make sure you get some good pictures down there. if you go out friday make sure Will gives you a ride like this pic he sent me of my boat racing in miami:sifone:

Will Smith put it up the beach pretty far, I was a little shocked, but we pushed it right off, we had lunch there at a waterfront restaurant. The boat is spinning 34" Bravos, and the peak horsepower for the motors is at 5000 rpm. Here are some more shots.

Last ones. Normally I don't post too much, but when things are good..."when look at my life and see what I seen," this is a great day on the water.

I really don't want to the sell the boat, BUT the house next to the boat ramp in the bottom picture (can't really see the house), water-front with a dock and bulkhead is forsale, my mother owns it-house needs work, the lot is great. Ready to deal, $329K.

If you like 34s check out Steve's 34' in these helicopter shots. I think these pictures are outstanding, and the boat looks great. And his boat is definitely a hot-rod! Here is the link:
