Gene

Props mod 1640 and H4 fer me....

 

[Jerry Wyss]

Man, I Nowhere for any suggestions,,Mark Anderson would be one I would

recomend for some kind of prop solution. It's gotta be in the prop I would Think.

 

[Slideblues]

Yea prop and top end stability, both might effect each other,

[shoboat]

Gene,

You guys just haven't hit the perfect propeller yet. It is out there, you just

have to keep plugging away at it. :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: Maybe

Andy has some ideas for you? now that he runs an outboard. I have a

few other ideas but they are pretty radical for sure. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh Yeah,you may want to try some new pipes also.

Keep Testing,

I am learning with my 45 tunnel what it takes to go fast. I will apply these ideas to the 21 tunnel this winter and be ready in the spring. At the Huntsville record trials last week I ran 74.95mph with my 45 tunnel,but that was with a boat that entered the traps at about 65mph and kept accelerating. So I know that 80mph is going to happen in the spring. I don't see why we can't go 70mph with a 21 boat. As Mark Sholund said,it is all in the prop.

 

[Slideblues]

Hey Mark,

Radical is my middle name :lol: :lol: :lol:

Any ideas ya got drop me a PM

Try some new pipes.....Hmmmmmmmm h34r:

Yea Andy will be testing while we are stuck here with the cold and white stuff fly'n

Hi Bob,

Gald to hear you have your 7.5 boat smokin,

And I agree we should be doin better on the 21's.

70 ? Heck I would be happy with 62 :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[topfuel443]

no white fluffy stuff for me.... h34r: Props are definately something Im gonna start learning on...

~James

 

[Slideblues]

Hey James,

Yea you still got some testing weather

I thought of this last year and never followed thru with it, What about a V937?

That is the radest prop I have ever seen, Has anyone just put one on a 21 tunnel and tryed it out ?

I know its a smokin hydro prop just like the H4,

Gener

 

[topfuel443]

Never tried it Gene, Ive looked at the numbers and think it could be a good SAW prop, I just dont have one to try....

~James

 

[Bob Kensill]

Too much lift and not enough bite. Try reducing the diameter of an H7 and see what happens. That is my fastest prop,to date, on my SAW boat. Just over 62mph.
