props were always spinning in.

but the chines were extended to the transom now so the boat runs alot higher then before.

Dont need the transom lift of turning in anymore

Do you mean that the "chines" or the ''center lifting strakes'' were extended to the transom?

My two cents.

I would definitely try spinning the props out, you have a relatively small boat for running transmissions, boxes and fours. Looking how the boat is running in the pictures it does run high in the water but it is also running very nose high (not flat). Next thing try as many different props as you can. My brother has some 18 x31 4 blade 19 spine props you guys can try.

When I first put the Arnesons on my flat deck I started with the props turning in because thats what your supposed to do with surface drives, I settled in on running them out.

For sure next year. The boat is turning out good but taking longer than expected.

Inner strakes extended to transom.

[scarrab30]

Kris, we may want to try those props; after we try a set i'm waiting for adapters for. Brian

[MILD THUNDER]

18x31's might be tough to pull....Then again, you have race hatches, so we could always bolt some 10-71's on!

[OBNOXUS]

what he said !!

[Tony M]

Yup,,,, thats what I said yesterday at the launch,,,,, worth the couple MPH to not die Im thinking !!! Man Im getting old,,,, this sucks

Now with those suckers on there after 1 time out you might need your Shorts clean and you would have an Aged alot more. .

That's kinda' what I thought he meant. I think that it's pretty important for the chines to extend all the way to the transom on all boats....LOL

Latest, Mike sommer and his dad machined the prop adapters, and they fit like a glove. It was alot of set up work, but they came out great. Mild thunder and I went to the canal dropped the barge in. The results were not good , over 75 it wants to do the bow dance, over 80 it starts the chine walk. We took it to 88mph and that was as fast as we dare take it. 88mph was at 5000 rpm spinnig 16 3/4x 28 pitch that have alot of modifications ( rounded tips like a hydro motive). I'm real disapointed in this project. Brian

I would still like to try spinning out if you have time this week

[scarrab30]

I'm going to try to get that done tomorrow.

Patience my friend! It will come together. Take everything from what it was, and throw those thoughts out the window. It's entirely new boat. Solid construction, solid drivetrain, great looking and great sounding.88mph in a short burst, no positive trim, still not dialed in, ain't too shabby! Let's get them props turning out,
and drop them drives an inch, I think you will likey. The speed will come once we get the handling figured out. As we know the slightest adjustments can go a long way.

One things for sure, that sob pulls hard!

[MILD THUNDER]

BTW, your prop slip is around 3% turning a 28p at 5k at 88mph if my calculations are correct. Not bad!!!!

[OBNOXUS]

HMMMMM

[Magic Medicine]

Props tuning in sounds like a starting point. I bet that helps alot.
