You may be right, I've never had the drives open to count teeth.
Possible they are 1.55 but not sure that then show worse slippage. They would have to be lower ratio to show faster mph, therefore giving a false reading of a lower slip (if you assumed they were 1.5 and were in fact say 1.35), correct?

But , if say you have a lower numeric ratio, then yes, your slip numbers would be higher than what you are figuring.

Makes sense, and you may be on to something. I cannot see this boat being that efficient, due to the fact it came from the factory as a gentleman's cruiser, and never really had any special setups (until I got it, and we did what we did to it). But still, it's nothing fancy, heavy, and runs old technology thru-and-thru. Oh well, I am happy so far.
Now, if I can only get the crap pumped out of the gas tanks this week......

Word of advice, don't let your boat sit with empty tanks for 1+yrs while you complete your project. Or at least clean all the dirt out of the fuel before draining.
I do love having that camera to investigate things such as this:

Easy to do if the only option was say a 1.36 or 1.5, but it pretty hard to tell the difference between a 1.5 and 1.47 , or 1.58. Youll have to mark the shafts precisely and watch closely. A .03 change in ratio is tight

Some of us know better.
Whatever.

my math gets him between 97 and 99 mph. Depends on trim and how the slip changes with speed.
MMB does the boat carry better in the rough with the Maximus props.
