OUCH. These are funny - hope you have more :)

Yes definitely if you like a raceboat cockpit layout. Slim was the only one built with a pleasure deck and finished cabin with access door between the seats. Also the first to use the #6 drive, now all five have #6 drives. The boat for sale has a wet sump six and was probably constructed in...

No, I own Slim Shady, hull #3 of 5 (see avitar). The boat for sale is hull #1 recently redone by Mark, the original designer of the hulls.

Both

x2 on the test date. Just checked all 4 of my SternDrivers, they measure exactly 14.5" so your prop has been worked a bit; they did not have fine leading edges and were all satin from the factory. Guy next to me has a few pairs he uses on a 35 Fountain, his also are as I described.

Sounds like that one was worked on, without prop scan you really don't know the true pitch. Of course you can measure the diameter, should be 14.5". Try it and see what you think but you are probably going to be around 4500 or so.

Your boat should like that prop :)

My advise is to not mount the tabs until you have full hydraulic steering. My boat would be flat out dangerous without hydraulic steering. It is super sensitive to side wind, I wonder if in the video the wind was on the starboard side which makes you steer right which in turn will lean the...

16" - or 6.75" from bottom of transom shield to bottom of small pad on the hull. Completely stock 1988 drive.

Bigger tabs are going to make it even more sensitive. My Avanti 22 is very sensitive to both drive and tabs. I never have felt the tabs push the stern sideways but then again I rarely run them much below level with the boat at anything over 60 or so. These tabs are Victory, uses Bennett ram...

I have a 26" 4bl RH Sterndriver phragle could try.

Should add 4 blade Mach Sterndriver. I use a right hand prop.

Thanks razor, I am usually not a fan of yellow but somehow I have two yellow boats and like them both; kind of odd when I think about it.:cheers2:

Hey phragle, was over where my Avanti is stored yesterday, thinking of selling it and it's tow vehicle maybe next year. Anyway, the bottom work I referred to in an earlier post was not done on this boat, was a friend's Velocity. Sorry, too long ago for me to remember correctly I guess. The...
