So I put on a 21p 3 blade I picked up local this past weekend to get back on the water and get some #s and this is how it went. We gpsed it because the mph gauge on the boat seemed a little off. Wot with 4 people tube and stuff on and fuel tank max rpm was 4100-4200 and 40mph topped out. So...
So I have bad luck and I thought hey the life coats are we're and don't want to smell I will leave them on the seats and cover the boat they will dry wore next time...well they dried alright and the print on the life coat (set ski style) melted to the seat leaving the design on the coat in the...
Well so the only thing I can get mu hands on local for this week to get back out on the water to get some base #s is a 21 3 blade. It was a good price and the only thing I could get. I figure at least I can get back on the water and figure it out the right way and if I need the 19 back I get...
