Aw ite boat Guru's

[Rees Guide]

Still tweeking on the Glasstream. Motor is running awesome, knock on wood. Here's what I know: trimmed out about 2/3's the way and at about 2/3's trottle, these are guesses but close as I have trimmed all the way out at reduced trottle and have maxxed the throttle with it trimmed down, it is turning 6200 rpms running about 57 mph.
What I call max on the trim is throwing a small, no higher than the top of the motor, roostertail. When I max the throttle and start trimming I get no where near all of the trim before the boat wants and does come completely out of the water.
I feel that it still needs to be lowered some more and that the pitch on the prop needs to go up as well. Prop is 4 blade 14 x 26. Boat has no trouble coming out of the hole at this time so I dont believe increasing the pitch will hurt the holeshot.
Wish I knw of someone that had a 14 X 28 4 blade or a 14 X 30 3 blade I could try.
Thanks guys.

Rees, It sure would help to know the make, model and horsepower of the engine.

Give me a little more about your boat and motor, like size, hp, etc.. I'll call a guru tomor and ask his opinion... 6200, wow, hope it don't blow the cowling off....

Ouch. Ain't no way your gonna get off cheap looking for a 30 inch wheel. Onliest one around I know that would have a fanblade that big would be tim mcdaniels if you know him. Pretty sure hes running something along those lines on a merc.

18ft Glasstream fish and ski with 200 Merc, wanting to run the rpm's around 5800 but have a couple of friends that used to race the black max's and both say it will handle 6800 all day long. Not where I want to be tho, not real interested in screaming down the lake so much as just want it performing at it's best, getting about 6 miles to the gallon now which I dont really feel is all that bad.
