Pat, what speed did you get with Thunderstorm?
I know you said you were going to test over the weekend and even use a pair of 5 baldes, but I haven't seen you post any results. What was the end result? I'm sure everyone is anxious to see what you were able to coax out of that bad boy. Let us know. The suspense is a killer...

We are still trying to dial it in. We have tried 4 different props and have not found the best one yet. We hit the rev limiters at 91mph with labbed 30's, then with 32 we could only spin 4900 rpms at 89 mph, the last ones we 5 blade 31p hydromotives. The boat loved them, handle great but we could only spin them 4500 rpms at 88mph. Hopefully Pat is getting some 28p 5 blades that shoulds be the ticket. Well according to the guys at Hydromotive. And the next question that is on everyone's mind, is the boat on its way to New Jersey, the answer is nope, not yet.
