Mike,
I put a brand new Turbo TXP OT-4 on my boat and ran 73.1 Yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I first started testing it I hit 70 very easily. So yesterday the conditions were great, nice chop, no wind really. I am so excited, it's like driving another boat. I love when you hit a wave and skip over the next 3...hahaha. The prop is 14 3/8 x 26P,,Bow lift is incredible for this hull.

Congrats,

my 26 OT4 runs about 5700 rpm-79 Mph with my 300 XS (1:75). This winter I will go for a B&B Turbo OT4 26" and 6000 rpm.

The Turbo Txp OT4 is a lot heavier to spin than a Bravo or a Trophy in the same size.

What prop height are you running,motor,set back,yr of hull ,gear ratio etc

**Tistronskar** · 08-16-2010, 10:33 AM

Off Topic but here is my numbers on my 1994 V22 Stepp Kevlar:
Prop Height 1" under
Motor 300 XS
Set back 7"
Gear Ratio 1:75
Best ever 79 Mph with a Turbo OT4 26" at 5800"

I have also noticed my V22 is very sensitive have much gas who is in it.

I seriously doubt that. The Bravo's are very heavy props and larger at 15 1/4" diameter compared to the TXP at 14 3/8".

Powerplay25, I understand your doubtful.
My two props this summer has been a 26 Bravo and a 26 OT4 and the Bravo spins 200-300 rpm more than the OT4. I have heard that they are bigger than the numbers they put on the prop.

Like Mikey Large,,, I am running a 2003 225EFI 3.0L fishing motor...haha I have a 12inch Bobs hydraulic plate.

Prop is a 26P 4 blade by Percision Propeller. It's lighter than a Bravo and weighs about the same as a Trophy,,,but because of the diameter, it works great on my set-up. It really digs and pulls the bow up with the set back. I am very happy with it...

Also, my hull, like Mike's has the very thin top deck...1996 hull, bullet is about 2 1/2 below the pad. 1:75 ratio.

Highvelocity- There is still alot of speed to be found in your setup...TRUST ME!!!!
I cant wrap my hands around that 80 mark again, its frustrating. She will run 79 and change just about every day I go out, I just cant find that extra mph again.

I may get 75 out of her with a little work on the new prop.

But I am thrilled at 73.1...and still being a full rig...(2 batteries, 2 amps+subs, beach chairs, coolers, ladder, trim tabs and pump, jack plate pump,) and 26 gallons of gas in her. Not to mention I'm back up to 235lbs...hahaha.

The cool thing is she is a true 70 mph boat now.

**mikeylarge** · 08-16-2010, 02:48 PM

Venomous- Good idea!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

HighVelocity- I can still run a solid 77 mph with close to a full tank of gas and my 250 pound father sittin next to me. Keep striving for those extra mph, they have to be there!!! Still a solid 70 mph boat is doing great compared to alot of the other velocities.
