Yes all of my props have had diffuser rings cut off. The boat is awful with the ring on the props

Got my props back should be testing soon just waiting for a day with some water with some chop been pretty flat lately. Hopefully the hook removal with some added bow lift in the props will help things out some.

Well hopefully the longer tabs help a bit to settle things down some. I have tried max 5's and maximus props and the boat absolutely hated them that was with the drive height at 2 inches below. So far I'm still chipping away at the poor handling. It's still making small improvements as I go. At...

It was miserable next time the motor comes out I will flip it and perfect the lines and flatten it out to perfection

I jacked the trailer up as high as I could since the hook was just in the pad between the bunks and I got out a 17 inch air straight line body sander, a D/A sander and some long flat oak boards of different lengths and widths and went to town. Used a 6 foot aluminum straight edge and started to...

I drove the boat today in what would basically be the worst conditions possible smooth lazy water, my worst handling prop 32 merc lab barrel cut, under 1/2 tank of fuel, and just me in the boat which hurts side balance. I can tell that sanding the hook out made the boat more free on the water...

I removed the hook in the pad today going to test in the morning. The bottom is not perfect but 95 percent of the hook is gone. Hopefully there is a noticeable difference it had about an 8th to 3/16 between the lower strakes across the pad. Now it has almost none, couple tiny low spots but they...

So I finally got the time to take my props in to hill to have some prop work done on them, I showed them footage of the boat running and he said that it's not a prop issue. He is going to work up my 30 and do a custom lab on a 32 for me but he said that no prop work or different prop is going to...

what do you mean by full height bulkhead ? it has bulkheads that run floor to deck 2" material that have the centers cut out but overbuilt looking compared to some other boats I have seen.

Lance was saying to try to keep the weight low and centered. I know for initial testing purposes to figure out how many lbs it will take the sand bag idea is the easiest and cheapest way to figure it out. What do you think about keeping the weight in the center vs out on the corners ? Lance was...

I'm going to go see my prop guy next week. I have 3 props that I'm going to have worked on, a 30, a merc labbed 32, and a box stock 32 that a friend gave me that is dinged up a bit but not bad. I have also ordered some lead to start weighting the transom. Hopefully I can get it under control...

I just got off the phone with Lance super nice guy by the way. We had a good talk about the boat and what I have tried and what I need to try. His advice is props and balance, maybe bolting lead to the box on the back of the boat after first transfering as much weight aft as possible. He said at...

So the according to my paperwork the boat was built and rigged by Jeff Camire for Bobby Griffith and raced 2 years factory p-2 . Not sure how much truth is in that just something written down on a small notepad paper

From what I was told and I do have some info on it this boat was built for a race driver for warlock in 02 who eventually went to laveycraft. They did race it a little bit for about 2 years. I'll dig out the info and refresh my memory.

Yeah after watching my videos in slow mo I tend to agree about the strakes. Fuel slosh could be an issue but it seems to do the same thing full as it does half full or even on the more empty side. To me it seems like prop climb is what's killing me. As soon as the hull leaves the water in the...

It would be great if I could get his number

Is it a possibility that the 1.34 gear ratio is spinning the prop too fast and causing the stern lift ? Maybe 1.50 gears and slowing the prop speed down would help. When I installed the scx/sc combo I went with the faster gear ratio because whenever I had run more pitch the boat didn't drive as...

Tried lifting the tabs today to see if it helps boat does all sorts of weird things as soon as you move them they only like to be set at about an inch down at the tips any more and it noses in terrible, neutral or lifted it chines constantly and feels extremely unstable and mushy if that makes...

So far I have tried all bravo 1 props in the 4 blades. I have also tried some max 5, maximus, and hydromotive 5 blades with no luck. Boat hates 5 blades so far. I have not tried any other brands - models due to lack of availability to me. I was going to call bblades and get his opinion on what I...

I think the 30 will be the best prop after prop work. The boat has always liked the smaller pitched of 2 props then lab it and add some tip pitch, generally when I have tried to get a bigger prop cut back a bit it never drives as good as the next pitch down then worked up.
