300XS and HEAVY hull

[Eagle670]

Any of you go from 250Xs to 300XS and have heavy hulls, after change how much could you go up in pitch ??

[EuropeanAM]

Same gearcase TYPE and GEAR RATIO on both engines?

[Eagle670]

Yes , TM 1,75 ( im gona sell the SM from 300xs with the 250 )

[EuropeanAM]

I'd start with the same prop you have, just to try as a "benchmark".

More than likely, you'll be bumping the pitch UPWARDS by about 1 pitch.

if 300xs take my 24Tempest & Razor3 24" to the limit, im gona have a fast boat

Taken a 32 to the limiter is when you have a fast boat!

[Eagle670]

Have you seen my boat ?? ( look in my avatar )

[Eagle670]

Btw: put a "cabin" on your hull and try get a 32 p to the limiter

[spider1]

I would have to change gears to do it!!!

[Eagle670]

My goal is a couple mph behind 70, with the 250 im still the fastest one in my country

with that brand of boat..

[spider1]

What do you do with that kind of boat???? Looks like 70 would be hauling the mail in such a rig!!

[Eagle670]

In good condition 68,5-68,8 mph , mostly used to transport to a little island i own

I bet my sawzall could make that thing do 90+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you don't want to loose your top. Maybe we could talk you into just laying that winshield back and gain a couple mph.....

A bendable knuckle bracket at bottom and top of each leg holding up the top and she would lay flat to the back by removing a few pins... Add 10+ mph

[Eagle670]

I have some plans to make a cover in the front of cabin door, this big area suck down and trap air.. and yes ! a 4" lower cabin whould be optimum..

90 mph !!! yea , a couple of the new 557:s maby get it there

[EuropeanAM]

Or, you could play with the SHAPE of the top.

Sounds a little crazy... but a less-blunt leading edge, and a curved top (similar to the top of an aircraft-wing's airfoil) will actually create LIFT.

Proven it on a couple of Tri-Toons over the years.... I had one that after carefully adjusting the Bimini Top (and strapping the living dailights out of the skin for the top) would do 6-7 MPH faster WITH THE TOP UP (as apposed to folded down).

I like the style of my cabin, and it fill my needs, and with a 300XS on the transom i have the possibility to "hurt somebody's feelings "
