Hello everyone I cant figure out what to do.
I have a square nose with
62t case
61x cylnders with stock bore
milled head on pump gas
stock twin carbs
modified protec rev limiter
factory pipe
lightned fly wheel
carbon reeds with stuffers
R&D grate
Ok so i am curently running a skat 9-17 prop. My boat runs great and I have been riding 4 years. I met a guy on the lake the other day with a round nose and the only engine mods he has is a msd ignition, wet pipe, and a prop he told me.
We traded boats and I couldnt get over how much low end he had. I mean i was doing nose stabs in 10 mins of riding it and I thought with my ski that I just didnt have enough power.
Well oviously it is the prop and he couldnt tell me what prop was in there.
I was always told my 9-17 should have crazy low end???
I mean I oviously have more power in my boat that he does but his felt so much snappy.
Heres an example
On his ski I could do a 180 and basicaly come to a stop with the boat bobing up and down and snap the gas and the ski would flip up side down. My ski just doesnt hook like that.
I didnt know what I am missing out on and thought I just needed more power??
What do I need to get based on my setup?
I dont care if the boat only goes 40mph I just want what he has
Thanks
Dan
