I'm a 2.5 year M26 owner that keeps my boat at Greers Ferry Lake in AR. Use there is about 25 days per year. I've also taken two long trips. One to the North Channel of Lake Huron and the other to Destin, FL area. I'd like to take my family to the BVI this spring and rent a 35ish ft bareboat for a w...

If you need me to test the boat in those far off sailing places, I'm available the month of March! I promise I'll get the right prop on her!

I'm glad your making progress,

Now you're getting exactly the same results as I am with the 13 and 11 pitch. I kept the 11 because , like others have said, your boat will never be as light or as fast as it is today. Keep me informed if you find just the right prop.

I too have an M with a 90 ETEC and find the 29kts difficult to believe. Is it on an M or an X? My speeds are more in line with yours. 14x11....20kts. Now it will still do 17/18 loaded up, so I can't say I'm terribly disappointed, but I can't see it doing 29 with a 200 on it. My current thoughts are ...

Ordered one! I've been measuring and thinking about a 6 footer for a while and your results are all it took to pull the trigger; thanks for the feedback. I already have the tracks from Bill. I also found a 10% off code for Overtons. VPSAVE10. It came to $267.97 second day. Let the sun shine!

Might explain why the previous boards have been chewed up. Somethings not right in the trunk?

I paid somewhere around $7,300 for my E-Tec 50 installed. I think I got hosed. Granted, it was an excellent install with all cable run through the pedestal post. The only thing sticking out is my fuel line; but still, for the same price, I could have had a TLDI 90. Ouch! :( $7300 seems fair. For th...

will you give this thread some of your thoughts regarding: 1) warranty status (you know, the Mac isn't warranted for anything over a 50hp) 2) insurance liability status (same as above) Bob T. "DaBob" '02X w/ '04 90 TLDI 1. I understand the warranty, undertsand the risk, and dismiss it. If...

My wife bought me a 2006M with a 90 ETEC for Xmas. She's something. My first best guess was a 14x13 prop. I dumped her in the water, tested the no break in, and saw 23.5 MPH/4800 RPM with full balast and 3 adults on board. Although in the recomended RMP range, I suspect the boat will get heavier and...
