I’ve had 22 people a few timers and it makes the boat heavy but manageable in my Cig. Bury the tabs and try the props as is before spending money on them. They may work fine.

Look at how much shallower that 38 bottom is compared to the Manta.
I’d check the Miami - Cuba boards for the best advice on that type of load.

The 350 verados are supposed to have some serious mid range I’m sure the marina will have a pair of props to try out. It’s a huge marina complex. For Colombia any way.

Hey RM, glad to hear you are getting this thing off the ground.
As for your question, when I raced back in the early 90's we ran a 29' Mirage with small blocks and propped for top end. I know its different but we had to work to get it out of the hole and on plane. We switched to the big 380 size tabs and would damn near bury them while leaving the drives more to the neutral range. That seamed to get the stern up without shooting the nose into the air. Also, weight distribution in your boat will be key. Load up a little nose heavy to get on plane and then move people around the first few trips to find the best balance.

Thx so much for the tips on tab and drive position. Kind of stuck on the seating but can store a lot of supplies rearward under the deck in two huge fish boxes. Do to going daily won’t have to bring to much in the waynofnsupplies down daily. I have another boat that will Goni to the mainland in the south west direction with 40hp eng to bring beer sodas and a weekly bulk food purchase.

lmao. The 45 footer here holds I think 55 ppl lol. The 38 footer holds 43. Like sardines. My is luxurious in comparison and I plan on just over an hour ride close to wfo throttle, where as the flat bottom boats rattle your teeth on 1 foot swells and take 1:50 mins. At about 35 Noh. Hell my capt will even let you use the bow cabin to get a hummer if you tip him lol

most of the tour boats I think run 17p but they only have 200s. Once I’m on plane and feed it the coal I think I will be fine.
