Beautiful boat. Congrats! Now you gotta get her bloody and dirty. :D

Got to see Shawn's boat go by tonight.
When leaving the 6 mph zone she jumped right up on plane, looked smooth.
You look good in that boat Shawn!
What prop are you turning on the Honda?

Jeff

The prop with the 225 Honda is a PowerTech OFX 4 blade stainless steel prop. It has a 15.25" diameter and a 15" pitch. PowerTech makes many of Honda's premium props.

B,

What would the top speed be on the 27' with a 15" pitch?
Yes I know speed is not the main goal here, I'm just curious.
Seemed to have good bite as Shawn left the no wake area.
I am considering a 4 blade also. Totally different boat and engine though.

Thanks,
Jeff

trimmed up on calm water the 27cc does around 40mph. i have had my Chesapeake to just over 39 with her trimmed out and running. The cc is slightly faster due to weight

since you have a merc motor. I would look at the Merc Rev 4 prop. It has a ton of bite too. See what the merc prop selector states you should have by entering your current performance: http://appcenter.mercurymarine.com/propSelector/home.do

Good luck!

I didn't know any of the answers. When they come up, I just call Greg. :-)

There is no reason no to be out there tonight:eek:
The weather man is right on:confused:
It is suppose to get beautiful for the next 5 days. Lets hope for the best.

My plan is to add a jack plate and the Rev Four is one of the props I'll talk to Ken @prop gods about.

Thanks guys,
Jeff

I will say that I had a rev 4 on my last boat for a bit and it had tons of grip and liked the motor mounted high. However it would ventilate some at slower speeds when "bogging" the boat (between plane and displacement). I dont have those issues at all with the Powertech. When you talk to ken at prop gods again, ask him about the Powertech OFX too. It is an impressive prop. Bill tested a ton of props on his boat and found the OFX to be the best - on the Judge hull anyhow.

Thanks for the info Greg.

Jeff

The better question is how many fish are you catching off that point??? :D
