I wholeheartedly agree. That's how you do a fly-by video. The inboard sounds great but they swill fuel like you have a hole in the tank. Outboards don't sound sexy at all, but they sure sip the gas. ;)
Hey man! great boat! i live in québec i just bought one. Has the volvo penta twin prop B8 propellers with the 350 chev. Any tips for some extra speed? i’m running high 90’s topped out at 4,500 rpm
Well, I'm comparing the MerCruiser 260 in my SeaRay with a 100gal tank to the Johnson 115 on my Glastron with a 15gal tank. Like going from my Lincoln Continental to my Fiat X1/9. Big comfy gas guzzler to small, nimble sports machine. :)
Hello, first, I think your engine have not the right camshaft, marine engine need a lot of torque, is not same like car or truck. Normally max horses power is around 5000/5500 rpm. Second, depending model of propeller, 23 pitch with 1.50 gear ratio will be the best if your engine have around or more 400 horses power. My set-up was Laser II propeller 21 pitch with 1.32 gear ratio at 5400 rpm.
We are on the same page. Im gonna try both the next time out. Was thinking that will be a quick changeout. Watching and listening to your CSS every time I send you a mssg has made me realize i hafta have more RPM'S!!! I love how 99% of the boat is in the air! I also just landed a CVX 20 after a 3yr search. 460 and a jet. (Whole different animal.lol) Is having 2 boats crazy? You ever get to So Cal?
Awesome Michel,thanks for the response and info. Funny I have that same Laser 2 prop in a 24. The ratio is 1.62. I'm guessing changing to the 1.47 ratio is gonna bring the RPM'S closer to 5,000. Again, HUGE help!
Well, you really have nothing to do, take the time to write to me to make a remark of this kind. You did not think I could have a silent choice and I was not always driving at 75 mph.
That motor is singing one sweet tune!!! Big boat was floating
Talk about a sexy boat... I love the carlsons!!!

Hello, don't change gear ratio for 1.47 because your engine will running less than 4000 if you do that. Try other propeller 21 or 22 pitch before.

Who wants to run in a boat at 150 Db of constant noise ?
Well, you really have nothing to do, take the time to write to me to make a remark of this kind. You did not think I could have a silent choice and I was not always driving at 75 mph.
People who think sailboats are boring as fuck, duh.
That's 150DB's of music!!!
Me. I do. Thats music to my ears.
