previous owner did with herrings,
i have 5 blade hydromotives on it and i see high 90's..
the previous owner tried 1.36 and prob and every combination with drive hieghts etc..i was told and i believe that my boat is the one that broke ground for the mag boat everyone read about.
575s with innercoolers az speed and marine chit etc. botom been done rockered . 2 in sportmaster shorty's with 1 in spacers
with 36 bravo i believe they ran 103 ish and 106+ i think actual speep 107 with the herrings,
Bill told me straight up dont mess with it ,, he already had tried everything.
the boat is squirly but i have gotten used to it..
it took me a long time to stand on it. at aobut 90 it was a freakin handfull.. then it calmes down.
hope that helps. maybe Bill will chime in here if he see's thread.
do a search in fountain thread he told maverick about my boat and what he had done etc
maverick was trying to get to 100 in a 38

Re: Optimum drive height (prop shaft)
Thanks you helped me a lot. My boat runs 93.8 gps now and is a handfull over 90. was hoping it would settel down with shorty's. also going to 380 tabs.I like the 5 blade maximus over bravo,much better cruse and mpg.
