Location: MN | Hey Steve, Thanks for starting this one. I went back and found that old thread regarding 690's and Rev 4 props. As I thought, I was mistaken about the pitch. While 23 was discussed, the guys were convinced that Sled had a 21p on his 175, not a 23, though he didn't weigh in. Hodag got a 21 for his 175, and Lone Star got a 20p for his 150. They all love em.
Mines a '95 150 as you say, and I think the pitch on the Hi 5 is 21. And to hopefully make this easier, it's not speed I'm interested in. We get 51-52 with two guys and gear, and hole shot is good. It's really the bouncing I'm most interested in nipping in the bud, if it's possible. If we just need to regularly bump the throttle and play the trim when she bounces, I'm okay with that. But if that can be eliminated I'm all ears. Problem is it doesn't do it all the time, nor can I reproduce it on a whim, the conditions aren't consistent when it happens. So I can see us borrowing/trying a Rev 4 and not getting it to happen, and not knowing whether it's cured. Until of course I buy it, then watch it bounce out of the blue one day 
So that's where I'm at, if you think I might be good where I'm at that's great. But if I can do better on the bounce that's even better. Thanks again! | |
