Very Nyce!
Are the props 14.5" diameter, thru hub cleavers?
Are you spinning in or out?

They are over 15" and turning out. The boat flys very flat as seen in the pictures. We get another 600 rpm out of it and keep the slip numbers low it will be rollin' for a stock XS powered rig.

Joe, Something does not compute. 34 pitch, 1.62 gears, 5800 RPM, 115.8, slip -.47% If the motors are turning 5800 RPM, how are planning to get another 600 RPM? DBR mods. Never worked for me.

I am only relaying what was seen on the Smartcraft display. The props were sent as 34s but could be more. I currently have 7 Dewald propellers and when Mike at FJ propeller looks at them most of the time there are variances in the blades. He will have it out this weekend and get us some "in the boat" video. They hit the hard limiter at 6300 to 6400-It will take some time to get it set up perfect but these are the fastest XS powered 28 foot hulls available.

Joe, what is your plan for this hull?

When mine gets done I will run mids that allow me to swap X or XS power heads so it will depend on the occasion as to which is on there at the time. The XS and using 1/2 the fuel will be the majority of what gets run. The boat is an absolute blast with 600 horsepower as you can see in the pictures "it is perfectly balanced".

I can barely manage one so I never thought that having two was a good idea. You know; Diamonds are also called the forgiveness stone and they really work....
