Me too!
Ok so here is an update! I had a chance to run the boat in calmer conditions with a longer stretch of water. So with the same exact set up same load same prop, same engine height 2.75" below pad (7 dots on manual plate) I am 2-3 mph faster with the flash. I was running 73 mph today with half tank of fuel, 2 guys and all the tackle it will hold. I also have dual power poles and dual consoles. Before flash I was running 70.7 mph. I am turning about 6200-6250 with the flash. Solo with same load and set up 75 mph. I did manage 77 mph solo with a tail wind the yesterday. I am running a stock 25 t-1 prop currently but I do have a double cupped blueprinted 25 T-1 from Croxton I will try and I have a 27 T-1 vented prop (the vents are welded closed!). I think another 2 miles an hour are possible with a prop change. What are you guys thinking?
I'm wondering if you could come up a bit? Maybe not to 2", but closer to it? Also be interesting to see how a B&B 26T1 would do, assuming the SHO could turn it.
Well before I go buying another prop to add to the collection I will run the 2 others I have and see what happens. I think the 25 T-1 with extra cup and blueprinted by Croxton is my next prop I will try.
Not sure how the Phoenix hull compares to a Skeeter that bgibson is running.
What was your top speed difference and rpm difference between the 27 and 28 bravo xs
80F - running 1.5" P2P
27-80.1 at 6275rpm
28-80.3 at 6130

I have a manual jack plate on my 15' Skeeter zx250 so I'm not thinking I can set it up 1.5" - 2" without issue? I'm still fiddling around with the props I have. I today put a Fresh blueprinted, extra cup 25 T-1 on done by Croxton to try in the next couple days.
Ok so I changed props to the 25 T-1 I had blue printed and added extra cup by Croxton. Very good prop on this set up. 1/2 tank of gas, 2 guys and all the tackle it will hold (I mean a lot!) 2 power poles, dual consoles. I was running 75 mph even at about 6100ish. I am up about 4-5 mph over stock. I am pretty happy at this point. I have a 27T-1 to try at some time. Be interesting if I can spin it.
75 great numbers for that Skeeter loaded! I couldn't turn the T1-27 that Mark did for me..let me know how you do with it..

I'm going to try a stock 27 T1. Love the 26 Fury 4 but am bumping the limiter with it.
