Going to run the "spare" for a bit, but once the Bob's in on the new case - I'll be shooting to have the drive shaft in those areas you mentioned. So far - I can't get past about 83-83 without blowout on the regular case. Shaft probably about 2" or more below the pad. Mitch - what are the Characteristics of the Cleaver you are running? Bow lift? Stern lift? You had mentioned that your boat likes a lot of trim. I find with the Hoss that it develops a crap load of bow lift, real easily. Just wondering if the cleaver is the opposite and that's why you need so much trim? Thx |

My boat likes trim regardless. It doesn't go fast without trim. I ran my Hoss last Saturday when I had the dogs and Jules in the boat... I switched it for my cleaver the next day with the same load. I've grown very fond of them. I ran 99.8 with LC in the boat and my non labbed 32 last year.... It runs 101 with just me and the same prop. It handles fine. One side note. I was running my new case without my foil the same day..... It confirmed to me again that all performance boats should have one... Cavitation is for dummies. |

Stop giving away my secrets.... Mitchie if your boat needs lots of trim... Throw some setback at it.. How many times do I have to tell you. It like talking to a brick wall. |

Lower the motor until you get 18 to 20 psi @ wot with lots of trim like Michie says. If that don't work, through a 36" Bravo 1 and see what happens or $pend a little more and get the cleaver hammered out to work for your boat. If all else fails ... DBR |

A consistant 101 no matter what prop I have been running Will have to maybe try another 2" of setback and perhaps try a coned Bob's case next |

None of them ......I haven't hit 110 yet. Every prop has worked well - just have to spend some more time playing with different setback and heights to find the magic combination |
