That's one I want for sure. Also been thinking of trying a 23 or maybe 4 x 21. Running around at 5% now, gonna be hard to improve on that. |
I Tried A 22 Bravo 4 Blade On My Boat, It Made The Boat Drive Poorly (scarry) After It Was On Plane. My Other Boat That I Had, Before This One, I Took A 19p 3 Blade Off And I Put A 22p 4 Blade Stilletto On It, Worked Great!! |
Two different boats, very hard to compare!.. |
Talked to the boys at Elim. Plain and simply said a 4 x anything doesn't work on my boat. |
So what do they recommend??.. |
A 3 x 21 at the biggest, would keep the motor at 4800 WOT might gain 5 mph. Spend 95% of the time just cruising 35-40 so top speed isn't to important. Running as same speed with 300 less rpm could save on fuel though.

That's an easy fix, it's only $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!.. |
And lots of them. Hell, these days I could buy a go fast boat for about the cost of a Whipple. |
Shitt don't need no Whipple, what you got in there now a 540 or something??.. |
Would you believe only 377, Merc 6.2, only 330 HP. Only burns 4 GPH though. Unless WOT, then double it.

Not necessarily, depends on how much load is on the motor??..

Exactly, I could actually lose mileage. Wife really likes to load it up too. Damn, there's house boats out there with less juck on them.

If I stick with the 3 x 19 I'm good, even fully loaded. Pops out of the hole and on plane quick and easy. Thinking that if I go to the 3 x 21 my low end will suffer bad for lack of torque. It'll do 60 now. "If it ain't broke, why fix it." |
Quite a bit of difference from 19 to 21, cam change would definitely be in order. But if it's running good may as well wait till it needs to be refreshed!..

Could be awhile. Just over a 100 hours on it. Probably will be gone before refresh. Just gotta hope it don't break it between now and then.

I've heard that about you. Not to worried. If I break it, you can fit it. Then again, that motor hatch would look pretty cool with a blower sticking out.

Hell no I don't want to spend any money. But sometimes you just want to go a bit faster. Cha Ching. You've heard the phrase "Speed Kills". Nothing to do with drugs, the speed at which money leaves the wallet causes heart attacks.
