Well, I towed the Python out to Captain Nabbers today. Tom will be making a race fairing, putting the anodized red step plates on, fixing a few minor gel-coat issues, installing the hatch actuator, and putting the scoops on the hatch. Hopefully, it'll be done fairly quickly! Fingers are crossed.

When it comes home, Harvey will be finishing up the interior...and BANG...she's ready to get wet! Just need some props...

I'll get those 17x27's from art. Also, we should check with Frank 10x. Im sure he has some 19 spline ssm props.

I have 171/2 x 28 x3 and 17 x 27 x 4. He is welcome to try them.

I would think he needs some 17X30 4 blades ?! just my guess ,,but the 27 will do to get a starting # !

Good luck !

[OBNOXUS]

anything ,,,,,just so we can get a baseline at this point !!!!

Hey George, how ya been...I dont think the 3 blades would work well since his drives are pretty high. But if Art falls thru on those 17x27's he has, i may call on you for yours.

I think Scarrab30 ran 15x26 on this boat before when it had trs. If he had ran 17x27 on his old setup, i would think he'd lose 400-500rpm vs the 15x26. So maybe this will work on the new setup, with the modified bottom and high drive height, which should be a faster hull. Im pretty sure he spins them motors around 6k.

I'd say they would be a great starting point. I might have a line on some 17.5x28's too

[OBNOXUS]

It will be interesting to see how she runs.

Heavier but longer chines, boxes and raised drive height

I agree through,,,, I dont think 3 blades will bite enough

Hi Joe,
Congratulations on the new toy. Hope to see you on the lake soon.

If you need to try my 4 blades, just call.

So....we've been on a bit of a pause due to the windscreen project being undertaken at Captain Nabbers. It has been just over a month. I called Tom today and he said it would be done in less than two weeks. Fingers are crossed.

Unless you're waving hundred dollar bills in his face I would say other 4wks...

[redhotsommer]

My main reason for posting was to publically point out what I was told. We will see what actually happens. I politely informed him that it wasn't just Brian that wanted this done...a whole bunch of us put time and effort into that boat this winter, and we want to see it run...SOON.

[Kool-Aid Man]

i would highly advise you to stop out there multiple times to check the progress or it will be a few weeks...just my opinion

[redhotsommer]

If it was next door, I would. But it's a 30 minute drive each way. If I go down there, I'm coming back with a boat behind me.

[Magic Medicine]

I agree with Brian that guy is freakin slow!!!!! Doesn't know how to keep to a schedule, he get cussed out multiply times a day if he was doing my job!

[redhotsommer]

He is always crying broke. And who knows, maybe he is. All I know is that Brian has paid him PLENTY, and he more than deserves top-shelf treatment considering how long Tom had the hull in the first place. It's already been a month out there...if he doesn't make good...I'm calling out the dogs.

[MILD THUNDER]

Ill be out that way next week

[DAREDEVIL]

This Tom,,would not be Tom Huston ??? no ?

[redhotsommer]

No Scott. Tom Nabbers.

[OBNOXUS]
