what kind of speeds are you getting and what props are running with that ratio?

We've seen 84.6 and that was last summer when we first got the boat. We don't have a GPS in the boat, that's going in this winter. We had a hand held.
I'll have to ask Rob the size of the props. I want to say 17.5 x 34. We have two sets, one labbed, one not. I'll try and post back later to either confirm or fix the prop size.

thats cool... what size motors are you running now and do you have plans to make it go faster?

They are 572 cubic inch, and we're at 850hp each. Previous owner said he saw 90. I would say possible as long as the stars, moons and planets all line up properly. :smilielol5:
I'm happy where it's at....Rob would love to see it go over 100MPH. We have no plans to increase the power or change the boost in order to make it go any faster.
We bought the boat because I was scared on Lake Erie when we got into 3'+ waves. We were beating up the Stinger and that's not what we wanted to do. If we got caught in 3's, 4's, 5's or higher waves, I wanted to feel safe and have a boat that could handle it.
It's been an experience for both of us, especially Rob of course, in learning how to drive the boat in rough water. Your mind begins to question if you should in fact go faster when the water gets rougher. Took us the better part of this year to figure that out and wow, what a difference it has made.

Viper, props are 4 blade 17x31. Rob wants to lab them down to 30's. He ran a set 17x30's this summer and liked what he saw.
What props are you running?
