Just got done taking photos of the bucket hitch I made with MadRefs plans, and thought I'd show these too. Beautiful day in Michigan, 73 and 50% humditity.

And this is my newest buy, 21' WellCraft 210xl, 350cid, 260 HP, 55mph, and a gas sucker. It's going out on Lake Erie in a couple hours after the wind dies down some. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

John, nice looking dog, cool looking boat, the house in the background is great looking too. I didn't see the tractor anywhere . . . But you managed to get a shot of a sissyfied red truck in the background of the dog photo. Can you edit that out? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

BTW, here is a pic of my daughter, in the background is an elephant that she rode shortly after I took this picture!

Hey John, Great looking dog and boat. What are you running for a prop on it, size and pitch, aluminum or stainless? Just curios as I have a 22 footer with the same motor.

Bob; Very pretty girl, I just know she takes after the Lovely Mrs.Bob, seeing as how she isn't wearing a flowery shirt!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gifElephant ride, must be at the zoo. My daughter rode one down at Toledo zoo once. It's great for kids to be able to do that. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Sissyfied truck, yea, it is my wifes.LOL /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hi Jim; I think it's a 15 degree, stainless prop. By size, do you mean diameter? If so, I'll say it's around 10" to 12" without measuring it. Also has powertilt. This is the first performance type boat I've ever had, and am still learning how to plane it out for best performance. At least I think it's a performance boat. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Most of my boat time was spent on 80 footers and larger, so anything that'll run better than 30 knots is fast to me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey John.
Prop should be something like a 14.5 X 23 pitch prop. Should look like the attached picture if it's a performance boat.

Ron; I'll take a look and a photo in the morning. I don't think it looks quite like that. Would one like that make it go faster? Jan starts getting nervous anything over 30, but I like it!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[ronjhall]

Maybe, Maybe not. Does engine get 4400 rpms at full throttle? I have the same problem with Betty & speed. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Ron; The prop is a 14 X 19, engine RPM is 4200-4600. The manual I have says that screw is good for 52-62mph. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gifI had the boat up to 53 according to my GPS, and if I had it trimmed right, it would go a little faster. With Jan onboard I really haven't been able to find out what it really can do. Attached is a photo of the screw that is mounted right now. I keep calling a screw instead of a prop, had to break old habits, ya know. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
