Guys i am currently running a 17x52 center consol gtboat and motor with stage 1 mods and cam i found that i run 2mph quiker if i use the mudbuddy big blade has any one tried this combo out yet

You've been living under a rock or something

no man im new to this site been having the boat for two years know it runs great with the gt prop but its faster with the mb big blade and im no fan of mb

i don't believe u, could u send me de prop so i can see for myself

welcome 2 da site, bro

thanks guys but i was stumped to when i seen the gps at 37.8

dam good speed for stage 1
wat kinda rpm's










dat oughta make Paul Darrins happier bout his rig

it has the cam also it is turning 4700 to 4760 the boat always did rum great even when it was stock it was running speeds of 32 to 33

I talked to Rick acouin the other day bot building a new boat and he was telling me that Paul Darrens boat was running good speeds i dont remember what the speeds were though

I wouldn't be looking for a new boat if I had had one that ran that well!

....................

Well that certainly does suck.

yes it does i like the bot but there is one more down fall to it even with the mods done to it it seems like when u put one more person in it it looses alot of speed so the only reason i can say it soes that is bc of it only being 17foot with two people it drops to mid 34s to 35 depending if the water is choppy are flat

Jamie was you running the 11 inch gt prop. Now gt has a differant big blade than the mb prop. When i tested them the new gt prop was 1.5-2 mph than the md big blade might won't to try it. And also the reverse is better also.

Jaimie, that is good speeds. Best I got was 37.5 and I have the same mods. Since I added the console the best I have gotton was 32, but I believe its due to 2 reasons. One is that I had Rick put wedges on when he built the hull which are now hurting me cause I moved the weight forward and the other is cause my 12 inch prop measures about 11 and 1/4 right now. I will let you know in a few weeks when I get around to cutting the wedges and putting a new prop on.

If yall running Hoyts motors ain't the stage 1 with a stock carb and the stage 2 is with the after market carb and intake.

I think he is trying to say that its equivilent to a EVT stage 1 with a cam.

yes it is hoyts parts i installed them my self and the spped was diferent with gt 12inch compared to mb 12.25 ran faster then the gt 12 inch
