1992 Bluewater 22 Marque. This is the Springfield Oregon Bluewater company that was absorbed into Reinell (Kal Kustom) and then some outfit in Canada. I cannot find oem data for the prop that this boat was delivered with. Im buying one this week from second owner. Its only 225 hours. Seller said first owner changed the prop. My finding on the checkout ride is that its way overpitched. The 350 Mercruizer V8 with Alpha One has plenty of power, but still struggled with acceleraton and trim, reaching only 3500 rpm. Seller said on acassion with perfect water he has managed 4000 rpm, still a bit low. I will have the boat soon and can get the specs and outdrive ratio then.. In the meantime, if anyone owns one of these, or has some knowledge of what they came with, i would sure appreciate hearing from you. I fear the existing prop is so far overpitched that I cant get meaningful data from it. I am installing gps so will be able to get accurate speeds, but with such a wrong prop, i dont think i get good data for calculations...
