There's one of these near why i live in South Oz and if I remember right they're asking over $30K and i think it's up around 35K. I'll check and get the details, I think it's got an inboard though. Yeah like you it's a boat i'd love to own, a few mods I'd do and it would be a savage weapon to blast out far off the South Oz coast line chasing those huge Bluefin Tunas.

Incredible to be able to secure it! Worst feeling ever when you know a perfect boat for you is going to vanish out of your life for good, sometimes you just gotta make the big calls to step an secure it. Doesnt look like you will regret this one bit . Keeping the boys off the trim tabs might be the challenge. But credit to previous owner, that thing is not just a weapon, its a beautiful weapon. So good to see it stayed in your circle.

@Micksgonefishing11 ай бұрын
They get you up out of the hole alot quicker and lift the ass end, also the big plate on the back accentuates the trim so it’s a lot more responsive. I notice it a lot more in the tinny but it also stops the nose plowing back down in the chop 👌🏻

@Micksgonefishing10 ай бұрын
It goes pretty well as it is, the motors are on jack plates and it seems to be done right. I’m hitting 45 knots at 5850rpm and if I trim out more than 3 bars I’m getting cavitation… I’d be interested to try those props but it’d be an expensive trial if I don’t like it 😅 do you have a similar setup?
@crashalexander723210 ай бұрын
@@Micksgonefishing I have installed these props on many different applications and they always outperform the current setup ... they have vicious bite and allow higher engine mounting higher thrust line and less drag. higher thrust line helps push the nose over faster less transom dive on takeoff for better hole shot and the props engineered ventilation allow faster spool of engine to get you up and moving and the 4 blades allow slower speeds without losing plane. so many pros and the only con is you don't have them...lol no merc is not paying me but they should....lol be sure the plastic rings behind the props is not worn out that will cause easy EXHAUST VENTILATION just as you described...CHEERS.

@Micksgonefishing5 ай бұрын
Thanks mate! Yeah I love the hardtop!! Not sure on the loaded weight but it’d be up there on the heavy side. The 150s push it well but I think the 200s would hold a cruise speed close to 30 knots which is where the hull really starts to perform. With the 150s 25-27 knots is my best economy but the hull comes into its own at 30 knots…
@anthonyscocca72055 ай бұрын
