I was very skeptical of 101 loaded,4 batteries, 36v troller and with poles. But not wide open.

Damn...that's some next level stuff that I could watch like porn! Bout to go through your library with my pen and notepad handy. I've have learned alot from watching guys like you (and Paul) who have actually been there...free education for me!
I have also been looking for an opportunity to acquire a 32 (got a Bob's 1.75 Yamaha case). But I would definitely consider going in halves with you if you find a set of props held by a twin engine superboat guy not willing to split them up. I would be looking for the LH wheel so the RH would be all yours. Bout the best win-win-win I can think of...probably get a pretty good deal too since those guys don't mind slashing the price to get rid of both of them. I would be open to your choice on props too in that situation cuz if it would run well on yours it's gotta be a good one for me too. Keep me in mind if you stumble across that situation...

Kelly, the PM will perform better top end than the Bravo, IMO!
I also was not fully loaded, just my fishing gear, pPoles and little fuel when I ran a 101.
Also who ever said I ran a 36v TM with 4 batteries?
When I'm playing I usually remove the 2 TM batts, (which are the heavy 31's), but not my gear, just rearrange things for balance, and don't forget this is the lighter weight 2.5 engine not a 3.0!
I should'a said Usually instead of Always in my original post as I was mainly impressed with the performance I get from the Box Stock 23P PM and the other day when I ran the 26 I was only glancing at the tach.....(my eyes aren't what they used to be), the GPS is in my line of vision but I have to take my eyes off of everything to see the tach.
As far as top speed, I've only driven this boat for 2 years and I'll never know what it will run.....I run out'a ballz at a certain point when trimming it up!
It's the 1st boat I've had out of many, including 2 which would top 100, that the trim is so weird. If you over trim at too low of a speed it chine walks severely.....but once you're at 80'ish every bump up gives you a surprise in speed gain!
Maybe another year of running and I'll get gutsey!!!

Sounds good...thanks for explaining further. That is still a pretty fast Bullet you got there. Congrats on figuring out your set up...sounds like you got it perfected! I'm still tweaking and like you said not running the best prop out there for top end so there's more work to be done on my end to get to your level. But I'll get there one day. Be safe out there at those speeds...
