Max Machine Whale Tail

[RiverDave]

I’d be looking to try a larger diameter prop before I did anything.

It might be you raised it too much?

No used to roll out about 1/2 throttle then back down to about 1/3 then boat would roll flat.
I tried everything from moving anchor ice chest wife and son up to the nose of bow.

My Warlock 25 would take at least 3/4 before rolling over. If too many people on the boat, it felt like it would never roll over. 496HO with a stock XR drive.

Measured off flat level floor
Center 23"
Outer 21 5/8"
Prop center 19 13/16"
So it's still well below 0

I couldn’t pull a 28p to save my life before and had same experience. I’ll be sitting in Havasu like i did today before your first cigarette hopefully get this girl wet by 10am then decide if I’ll just take whole week off or not.

This whole ordeal has been beyond a learning curve and i don’t feel any smarter. But...... it now gets on plane and runs good.

Did you put the whale tail on?

So what was the fix? My friends cat is hard to plane when loaded heavy, other than that seems to run well. Wondering if a Max Marine whale tail would help him?

Yes sir. May just be a true fix all.

Where did you drive shower pickup go?

 

[wet hull]

Get that tail powder coated blue asap

 

[chvynhra]

Put some sea deck on it, perfect step.

I was camped out in their parking lot this am, Aaron handed me this one and i was gone before the door closed upon entering. I’m getting a polished one, i think so not drilling this one as it’ll most likely go back to them.

Get that tail powder coated blue asap

Na if anything maybe black if i don’t get polished but...... i am already feeling the brushed look as it matches the lower.

Put some sea deck on it, perfect step.

I don’t like SeaDik but...... that’s an interesting idea to put GatorStep on it, but...... I’d be worried of it bending with an adults weight.

So what have you seen for gains performance wise?

Was windy as shit this morning when I went out but seemed to be about exact same as before. Seems my money went to bulletproof if not gains, but that’s ok as i now have room for mopawa later.

Why did you go to a shorter drive in the first place?

Before with the B1X or before the Cav plate?

Boat runs good to start with, was hoping for a Littleton performance tho. And being there’s another Orion with an X 2.25” higher than mine i was figuring it’d be pretty then key easy.

 

[02HoWaRd26]

Same as with the b1x but i also didn’t play much was more to verify it would even plane.

Pre cav plate (whale tail) i couldn’t even get the boat to roll over onto plane.

For those that installed the MMW cav plate. I have a Bravo 1 and looks like I have to slide this one under and drill holes. Did you guys remove your anode disk that was mounted under? Did you leave it off or drill cav plate and put on outside?
Thanks

 

[yard dog]

I removed the anode disk so that MMW cav plate will mount flush under the cav plate , then drill out the holes also the nuts go on top of the stock bravo cav plate .

 

[wet hull]

I ground down my anode flush and then mounted as Yard Dog stated.

If there’s anyone that bought one, and now doesn’t want it, I want one. I’ll do polished or not. Call me - 330.328.8481-Kevin
