there is a lot more to hp than top speed

for what its worth, the chase is the same hull as the islander, but not as heavy since it doesnt have as much forward structure. mine has twin 250s. i would think 200 less hp would not be very fun. id put on as much as you can

that sounds terrible. my chase is the same hull, lighter, and i have twin 250s on it

id go 270 islander. it will be the largest that still has an 8'6" beam so you will never have to worry about over width permits for trailering. its a great riding hull, same as the chase which i have, but with more weight forward, so it should be better. if you dont mind going over 8'6" and...

Ride is standard on sportsman (at least the 26')

like dennis said, its ventilation, not cavitation. what hole are the motors currently mounted on? can you take a picture rear of the hull and the lower unit? put a straight edge along the bottom of the hull and extend it to your anti-ventilation plate and take the pic so we can see the height...

id hop on boat trader, loook at 2020 and newer marlins and see whats available below $250k

what are you specifically towing? a tube for water sports, or an inflatable dingy as a tender?

a prop can be designed to provide stern lift, and it can be significant. stern lift can reduce minimum planning speed

id be more interested in getting on plane at a lower mph rather than rpm. im not sure sharrow has shown that. a 4 blade designed to lift the stern should help. call ken bak and let him know the changes you want to make. keep us updated, i am also interested in a lower plane speed and a more...

wow, so all the admins that of groups that have AI posts had to take effort to allow them? i thought they were automatic and you had to take effort to prevent/stop them.

i just requested. feel free to join mine as well. if you dont mind, i might ask you to join as an admin and see if you can confirm that AI is turned off. i havent seen a spot to do so, even when following the instructions to get to where you are supposed to. if you have done it successfully...

i agree to an extent. its nice to quickly post something from my phone or check in and scroll a bit when you have a down minute or two. i dont really like using this forum (or others for that matter) from my phone very much.

i havent seen a way from my phone to enable or disable AI on the group page so far, even following the steps to get to the right spot. there havent been any AI posts yet. maybe it doesn't create a bot until there are so many members...? or so many posts per day?

what is your reasonig behind this? its generally better to have an engine running easier rather than harder. there are a few issues that i am aware of that are considered to be linked to being over propped

thats interesting, i feel like mine runs better at 35 than 30 (narrower boat, bow probably comes down more at a higher speed for me). im starting to think about 4 blade props as well. i just dont want it to stuff the bow at higher speed, but i guess thats where the 5 bars of trim comes in...

im tired of the stupid AI posts in the facebook groups im in. I am starting a GW owners group on FB that wont have AI. id like to see if a couple of you can join and post and see if any AI posts start to pop up. i went through the tools and dont see anything indicating that AI is turned on...

that 50 gallons per trip will pay for the props pretty quick. might take a bit longer to pay for the new motors though, haha. do you notice it riding more level with the added stern lift?

are you going to re-prop? 5400 WOT is kind of low

just go to your local canvas / upholstery shop
