Wow, what a stunning boat. Very nice!

can you put any pictures of rour fastest props

Joe, do you consider the Mad Efi prop a equal replacement for the Pro Et?

Joe, What a sweet boat you created. I had no idea LCB built a boat like yours. I am an old Fan of Errol. I loved the way he ran with Kiaser. I recently spoke with Todd of Wicked boats in Englewood this past November. Great guy with a great boat. He apparently worked with Errol on his Wicked cat. I watched his Run in Key West on live stream too. I immediately became a fan of his after watching the way he ran in the Worlds. Podium finishes in both Championship Events. It is refreshing to see a boat created that is not a copy of something else. I find that especially worthy of praise these days.
I am now a fan of your creation Joe. Simple awesome!

I really like them. I am going to try a Hill 5 blade clever thru hub next time out.

I also ordered a Hill thru hub, comes in next week. Hope to be ready for the water next week also. Ttyl.

Let us know how they work for you. I'm going with Hill thru hubs on my Liberator also. Hope to not give up too much, if any, top end as a trade off for easier getting on plane.

I talked to Dave and he said you guys were still dealing with crappy weather. I plan to swing thru and run with you guys for a day when I drag the boat South for its new brackets to be installed. -- Maybe 12 or 15 days from now.

Whats your goal? My thought is you will run 115 every time and few better when all the stars line up. I am curious to see what the barrel flare does--hoping it will lift my big ole' girl a bit.

If it runs 115 with the thru hubs I'll be very happy. I haven't seen one in person so wasn't sure if they had a flare or not. It will be interesting to see how it behaves. My last 25 liberator had 32 bblades blasters on it. They ran fine. I tried a pair of merc 3 blade clevers one time and they had a lot of mid range slip and also felt like the rear end was loose once up into the 90mph range. I only ran them once. We'll see how these run.

The best propellers for that boat (IMO) will be a set of DeWald thru hub 5 blades with the tips rounded bringing them to 14 7/8 dia. overall w/18 degrees of rake. The downside is wait time and cost. I think you will see Mercury come out with something very similar. Planing is effortless, they are feather smooth and efficient due to the fact that there is always blade contact and they have proven to be fast in testing and on the race course.

Not to hijack this thread....but is this advise the same for a heavy 21 splash?
