Conditions could have been better for the high speed gallop but I took what I could get. Humidity was at the least 94% with a nice 10-15 mph cross wind. I did manage to find a stretch of water that didn't have a cross wind.
The 32p large hub 15inch diameter was a tad too much, best was 81.6 mph @5700 rpm, the diameter was overpowering the boat (just wouldn't handle good) so I loaded the Ally back up and swaped over to the 30p o/t (14 3/4 diameter).
This prop was sweet!! holeshot was great, I detected no slipage as it broke over, mid range was bad to the bone, top end handling was a dream come true. She turned out 86.51 on the gps @ 6300 rpm before I had to let off the gas. I was really hoping for 90 but like I said, the conditions was not in my favor today. I'm going to have Todd at Hydromotive send me a 31p to try next. Keep in mind that my gear ratio is 2.0, thats why I can run the taller props.
Stay tuned, it's not over yet..:sign0021:...
