As you already know a 3 blade prop will be faster but also less stable at speed, the hi-five is better out of the hole and holds better in the corners but it is also less efficient cruising and you will burn more gas, personally I am a big fan of four blade props, best of both worlds, as for a...

You really need to put the boat in the water and try the prop you have to see what RPM's your at, hard to say just rolling the dice, how much does the boat weigh? how long is it? hard to guess without knowing, if I had to guess I'd say about a 21" is what your going to be after, a 25 seems high...

Yes that sounds like a good price and well worth the money to know that its done right and won't freeze anything, it costs around $350 to do our 6.2 V8 at a shop.

Welcome, do you got pics of your boats?, we love pics.

Nice, I would love to own something like this one some day

Yes change it now, better safe than sorry, I change mine every 3 years, they recommend every 2 years.

yup, says it's private does this sound like it http://boatspecs.iboats.com/Champ__Champ_XVII__1972/bp/66b16649

This is winter time boating :poke: Or maybe this :rof:

Welcome to the forum, Trim the motor up a little bit and the boat will level out.

That's probably because this boat turned out to be a major lemon, they were all starting on fire, in June when I still was waiting for mine to show up all these problems were known so before it came in to the hobby shop I cancelled my order, ended up losing my $100.00 deposit but I figured that...

Nice, My first real boat was a 84' Glastron CVX 16, it was a good boat

I'm here too, with the 89' Eluder w/ 220 Merc EFI

Good luck with the sale Jup, I would love to have that hull, I just see a red x for pics, probably cause I'm not logged in at S&F

Cool story, glad it worked out for you, that doesn't happen to often that you can buy it back, 2 years ago I got to buy the boat I have wanted since I was 12, my neighbor bought it new in 89' and I wanted it the first time I saw it, I used to stand on the dock and drool over it, LOL, only took...

Yes we have had a great summer, been out every weekend and the boat has ran great with no issues. I checked out your Lubbers log, good stuff :) What kind of power would you run in a boat that big? we don't see anything that big around here. My buddy's parents bought a new 89' 18ft Sea Ray...

Still available at west marine, not sure if you could use something else. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_11151_10001_100757_-1?CID=cj&srccode=cii_11138&cpncode=00-44258133-2

I'm the same JT, I always put the plug in at the cabin. I'm only a 1 minute drive at 10km/h to the ramp also and I always take the straps off and unhook the boat from the trailer at the cabin, when we pull up to the ramp I line the boat up and then get in the boat, the wife backs up and as...

I love watching the weekend warriors, sometimes if we're bored we walk down to the boat ramp just for the entertainment, I always through a drain plug in my pocket because I know someone will be looking for his as his boat sinks:rof:

I had a brand new set of Cooper tires on my truck with a baseball sized bulge in the sidewall of one of them the second day on the truck, when they took it off it was obvious to me that they cut the inside when they installed it but they wouldn't admit it, they gave me a new one but it seemed I...

Cool boat, going by the seriel # it's a 1965 6hp
