Checked w/ Randy those were just stage props (no pun intended) for the photo opportunity. So you see sometimes we must refrain from being quick to judge & give the benefit of the doubt. Mystery solved & case closed! I think my work is done here!

Steve,
My GPS Speedo antenna crapped out too & I went thru the whole battery replacement w/o any success so I wired mine directly into my Garmin GPS & it works perfect as long as I have the Garmin uncovered & on. No calibration necessary. It's running both my front & rear speedo plus the Garmin digital display.
If I had my way I'd lose most of my gauges for a few Data Tachs. I have 4 Tachs & 2 speedos in my helm. Data tachs would clean the dash up nicely. I'm not really a smartcraft display kinda guy although I know many of the newer high end boats are incorporating those style.Last edited by NASCAT; 05-05-2010 at 10:53 AM.

I am wondering why the boat only runs 101 with 710's? The slip ratio of 14% is high and the speed seems quite low. I would guess closer to 135 mph. Maybe I did not read the thread correctly?

Brad,
Thats a photo I took off of Livorsi's site (LMAO) but good eye. I don't actually have a Data Tach but was saying I wish I did in order to consolidate the bazillion gauges.
Actually my boat ran 137 w/ the original owner & different props, my personal best 135 so you are spot on.

Steve,
Did you get my PM about your current props. I know you gave me the sizes etc but do you know the rake & what gear ratio your drives are? I'm using your setup as a starting point for mine & they want to know what ratio. The DCB's & Eliminator w/ Indy drives all have a 1.39 ratio which is close to my Bravo 1.34

Steve by the look on IlmorDudes face I think you just voided your warranty!

That puppy was voided a while ago! That's where the rev limiters kick in. They're just starting to sing at that rpm!
