i've got a tidecraft inferno which is a bassboat that has the same hull yours does . i was just curious about your setup i.e. prop,propshaft height,speed,etc. thanks for any help. i'm really wondering about props.

Sure, I'd like to hear what your getting also.

My boat is fairly light, I don't have any weight numbers however. I run a modified Merc 200. Average 130 psi compression, Exhaust ported by Gene at G-Force (unlikely I will ever deal with him again, ask me on that one....), G-Force Tuner, Relieved exhaust, B-reeds, Bobs nose cone, and a few other misc. goodies. I use a CMC powerlift with the max height right at pad level (been meaning to go up some, just haven't yet) I use two different prop's. With my 26 Merc Chopper the boat drives real nice. 6200 Rpm which calc's out at to about 70 - 75 mph. Gives nice bow lift and acceleration is excellent. My new prop is a 28 Spinelli Cleaver. I'm getting 6200 with this prop also, calc's out to about 75 - 80 mph. Bear in mind I run at 4500 feet. With the boat being rather light it still accelerates really well with the 28 cleaver. Overall I'm really happy with the boat, I can send you some pictures if your interested.

my motor is a 96 2.5 200 some port work to closely resemble a 260,bob's tuner,150-160# comp,carbs off of a 2.4(still not sure these will work. my problem i've found since i put this motor together is my holley red i got second-hand is worn out and won't put out more than 1# of pressure at 6000 so i'll let you know when i get another pump

Sounds like fun, Good luck getting it going. Let me know when you get some numbers. I'm also interested in what your boat looks like.
