I used the other calculator and figured in your weight and 130 hp for the engine it said 30 MPH. This is a second one i use. The second is only top speed and it is a hull weight calculator.

First one is a prop speed gear ratio and slippage. It is accurate I checked against the tach and GPS speed at several different speeds on mine.

Yes I think the 23 is to much also. That be on the ragged edge in my light boat.

So you did motorized splash and came back with no vids ? :suspicious:
Kc will be along shortly to read you the riot act !

 

[mickyryan]

[mickyryan]

ok so i " might have had a "retarded" moment ... im not going to fully admit it till after i run out and test it ! but i might have set my timing at 6 degrees after top dead center ... hense the retarded comment lol

 

[chevymaher]

I PM'ed you the links to the calculators.

 

[mickyryan]

yup /sheepish grin .... i had it timed 6 degrees atdc base timing ... doh

Cheaper than changing props and easier than chasing down fuel problems

omg! its 53 here atm dogs and i came inside with scorned looks on our faces... nature has denied us our will this day !

NOT cool Micky.... NOT cool.

I just caught up on your thread from pg 16 (picture book style). It looks awesome! I look forward to the resplash results

 

[mickyryan]

well i got to 15mph today but again falls off at 2800 rpm i can get it to 3k long and slow but the motor sounds like its just got no umph pop her back to 28k and she smooths out its funny, best comparison i can make is when you were moving a heavy load with truck and mashed to floor and still went same speed but you knew you were just flooding or leaning
the engine at that point because revs didn't go up so im wondering now is lack of fuel

 

[zool]

Maybe that little 3.0 is having a hard time pushing that 5k lb sled?

 

[mickyryan]

i am starting to wonder maybe time for a ole big block , lol don't think one would fit into engine bay lol this 2800 delimma has me perplexed though i would think rpm would be a ton higher even if the boat wasnt moving fast but i cant seem to get past 2700 to 3k boggy

https://www.edelbrock.com/universal-micro-electric-fuel-pump-38-gph-144-lph-gasoline-e85-17301.html this is fuel pump i am using the fuel pump is a few inches above the tank and has a water seperator/filter in front of it, maybe i am asking too much from it ? it says gravity fed and mine is not so possible higher rpm fuel starving?
