**c10stuntin** · 01-26-2010, 10:37 PM

Hey guys im runnin a 22 activator with a 13inch of setback with a 2.4 200 and a cle lower and a jackplate. im getting 5800 with a 24p chopper best speed ive seen is 60mph. any thoughts on props that could help me out. im elminating alot of un needed weight from a waterlogged overly built back seat and sunpad should shave 200lbs from the boat. any thoughts?

what gear ratio do you have,do you know where the prop shaft is in relation to the bottom of the boat,are you sure about prop,may want to send it out to get checked,are you from huntington long island or calif

Huntington LI im sure on the prop i can run the engine where ever needed with the jackplate i havent measured where the optimal running position is tho i just feel it when im running...... its a 1.75 ratio. I appretiate any input.

You sure its not a 1.87 ratio?

Is your bottom notched ?

I've been running with a 2.4 Bridgeport carb, fav prop is a 22" chopper that was worked on by DAH, also have a 24" chopper untouched that is a little faster on top, but not very good out of the hole. I've been seeing speeds around 70-72 and the engine is due for rings. Also running a CLE, prev had a std case w/ Bob's cone on it which might have been just a little faster.

Getting rid of weight is a good thing, in addition to the rear seat, the wood floor is also overbuilt and you can save a bunch of weight there - I replaced mine when I had to replace my gas tank. I also went from a 70 gal tank to a 45 gal tank.

I'm hanging a 3.0 250 on mine this spring.

That 2.4 is more likely a 1.87 ratio. What year is your 2.4 200? Those 2.4 200hp were probably rated at the flywheel as opposed to being rated at the prop shaft.

ITs actually a falcon the boat not an activator just that nobody has herd of them really so its easier to give example for the hull. no notch tho. if i were to guess i would say im a bit hevier than an activator too but not by much.
