    Max5

    New 250 is on. Now just waiting for a prop that's on back order. I'll have pics when it's all together.

    Hey Mark, I went by the shop on Monday. It was looking good with that beast hanging on the back. I'm sure Mike probably has a prop around there you can use until your max5 comes in.

    You can only get 1:75 in the 250. Ordered a 29 max5 based on what some of the local Bullet guys are running on their 300s

    29 is a good choice. You’ll love the way the boat handles but it’s not as fast as a 30 pro max.

    The 30 PM will run 90+ loaded. Light you’ll be on the limiter.

    Not familiar with the newer engines. Does it have a Sportsmaster lower unit?

    The 29 ProMax is not going to be enough. I didn't have the GPS on while running back in the river but I'd say about 86 on the limiter with two people and all tx gear and live well.
    Couldn't stay on it because it's not broken in yet . I thought all I could get was 54 mph, then I figured out it was the water temperature.
    This thing turns a creek amazing! I wasn't sure because of the blow out when it breaks over but I was way wrong. It will turn and grab like nothing I've driven

    Hey Mark, how much set back are you running? I cant recall, do you have power poles? I may have a few more questions once your prop comes in and you get her dialed in. I may take mine out in the river tomorrow if you make it out there give me a call, 904-607-2274.
