Re: A little SeaCraft porn & video! SeaTrials
So with both of us aboard we got 58!!!!
After I dropped off my brother to take the photos & video, I wasn't able to focus on the GPS while running. The area I was in doesn't allow much of a run between manatee zones & it's posted 25mph, ha! I really think I can get 60 without all the gear & riggers. It sure does get the blood pumping @ 58 though. |

Copout - What prop are you running with that setup?

Re: A little SeaCraft porn & video! SeaTrials
We were running about 5700 rpms & the only markings on the prop are 21-M, it's a 3 blade. I don't know the maker though, sorry. Maybe some of the more experienced will know by the markings.

Essentially, with those numbers, your prop is running at 95% efficiency. Industry average is 75-80%, and better than 88% efficiency (12% slip) is absolutely phenomenal. Many people pay $3,000 to $10,000 to get a single prop with only 10% slip or less. I'd be interested in what a calibrated digital or computerized tachometer would show for actual rpms. Analog tachs can be off by as much as 10%, and average 3-5% error. A 5% error in the tach would make a difference of of 5% in slip ratio. Still phenomenal, either way. It certainly reveals why SeaCraft is such a great racing hull.

Re: A little SeaCraft porn & video! SeaTrials
Most of that went right over my head but thank you!
From what I've been told on another forum the prop is a Yami pro series prop. Not suprising I'm getting a lot of non believers on that site. Some just don't know what a SeaCraft can do! I will do some more video in a few weeks for proof, just need a camera man cause the wife is not so good behind the wheel or the camera. |
