I recently d something rather brave I suppose... I am currently deployed and I bought a boat I saw online. As the title states, it is a Javelin 379 FS '96 year model with a Mariner 150 hangin on the back. I went home on leave a few weeks back and finally got to see it with my own eyes. I was very pleased with myself. Unfortunately, the weather didn't turn out the way it was forecast and I only got on the water twice during my two weeks. Of course, that gave me a chance to give it a good look over and discover the tilt trim motor locked up. Pretty easy fix once i got the new pump. During my first outing i discovered my prop slipped, or spun the hub. It is an aluminum prop with a 24p. I am curious as to wether anyone else has a similar boat and if so, what pitch are you running? Or, what would you suggest? I plan to fish mostly, but wouldnt mind pullin a tube or skier, or handing the wheel to somebody so I can tube behind it. Also, I noticed the engine is up high on the mounting holes, so someone was trying to get a good pad height with the motor. Kinda went the long way around to get here, but hope somebody doesnt mind reading a bit to get to the meat an potoatoes of it. Thanks!
