what prop is that?
FMP.....Are you referring to the black prop on mt pic above? if so that is the old 15X17P Aluminum prop that have since been upgraded to a 14 1/8 X 20P SS 4 blade prop and what a difference that made. Soon to mount a 4 Inch set back/4 Inch lift jack place and waiting on a 14x22P SS 4 blade prop to show upQuote:

Try a Ballistic yet?
No MWP Ballistic as they all seem to be up in the 27P range and 3 blades. I like the lift the 4 Blade gives this little boat after trying the MWP 4 Blade Apollo with 20P....completely different boat. Prop I am waiting on is a MWP 4 Blade 22P and see what that does.....after the jack plate.

Called MI Wheel today and had a chat about a Ballistic 4 Blade prop.....Told the tech I have a Apollo 20P now, going to an Apollo 22P and asked what would I get with the 23P Ballistic prop.....More Speed and the same lift on the hull.......I will be saving my change for a prop lock and another prop by spring.Quote:

I wouldn't use that for trailering because it will still allow the engine to rock/bounce and flex the transom while you drive. The idea of a transom saver is to take the weight off the transom where the clamp attaches and distribute that weight through the transom saver to the frame of the trailer. That device you linked would be good for holding the engine stationary while servicing or sitting but I wouldn't use it for trailering.

Bad news is 2 of the 3 cylinder ring kits are wrong, too thick for the piston slots. TSM is shipping me new ones however. Yay.
Decided to go red on this block. Red is faster haha.
You can see my massive port job on the old block. I'll be using the same high compression head, and carbon reeds, but keeping stock porting. For now.
I admire your stamina with this project, and the end result looks great. I know it is a bummer when mods fail or don't perform as expected, but I think you are wise to leave ports stock and go with your other performance goodies. You will succeed and have a boat that should give you hours of enjoyment. I find there is good performance gains in a good set-up IE, setback and prop choice. Happy boating and less wrenching for you.
Your getting really good with these wet mopars...you are gonna be the guru for these mils.
That's 5 red ones I know of now, still not used to it. The twin Powercat , one of Bills, Chucks and now the triple. They should have over-nighted the proper rings to you !
