Plumb Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Who's heading out tomorrow? Wind looks to have dropped and is predicted for 20-30. I'll be heading out for a few early hrs, might troll a few skirts around the jibbon bommie, then try for a feed of flathead, If the wind allows.

boattart Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 It's got twin 150 Mercury Verados. It came with the stainless Mirage Plus props but I just bought a pair of stainless 4 blade props. Hopefully that will improve the mid range accelaration and I was getting a bit of cavitation at low revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a single 15hp like mine, I don't have any cav problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other issue is acceleration and staying on a plan in the mid range revs. Given the boat is 27ft and 3,500kg it's not over powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
