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

if you have the seacock open, does it fill while you are underway without the pump running? the high speed pickup should still fill it without the pump when underway. that would prove out everything but the pump. if it fills, you know its the pump. if it doesnt fill, you know its in the plumbing

side note...how tight does everyone tighten their drain plug? do you crank down on it, or just snug it? i want to tighten it enough to not let water drip in, but i dont want to twist the fitting in the transom hole

when i bought my boat (admittedly an older vintage and a bit smaller), i was looking at the GW and WC. with the way the market was then, i could get more boat for the money with GW. also, i wanted a cc and the cat didnt have a stand up head, but thats not an issue for the DC. if you have...

wrapped up last night, i had nice strong wood for the screws to grip. on to the nex mini project...

im pretty sure i just paddled through your community marina last week. my wifes family has a place in ocean view and i paddle around to the different marinas and look at all the boats. good luck with your sale!

there may be water trapped between a stringer (think longitudinal internal frame rail) and the side of the boat that isnt draining to the center bilge. these boats are foam filled so they still float when overturned. its possible that something is leaking water in and the foam has become water...

Im resealing my drain plug fitting. The screws that were there are a bit short (maybe 3/4" at most) and i am putting new ones in that are longer at 1 1/4". There is plenty of transom thickness at around 3". Question - Should I pre drill the holes the deeper to full 1 1/4" depth, or run the...

oddly enough, between being in the shade from the top and the wind, i would often get a bit cold running the boat originally. we did have an unusually cool spring so water temps were down. also, i still get some wind from the sides. the cc setup without the wings is much narrower than the...

all the squigly line patterns remind me of hotel curtains and carpets

The old navy blue t-top on my Chase had seen better days and even though the tape keeping it together was holding strong, it was time for a new top. also, i hated the wind pattern from the factory windshield. it would go over the windshield, hit the overhead box, and come down my face in a...

pics would help. do you already have an old wire that you can use to pull thorugh?

the new style grady white looks good on the side

just do your best measuring and add several feet

the best way is to just drop you boat off at your local canvas shop. they can do a custom job exactly how you want it. they dont need to be "grady experts", just good at canvas
