Have questions about setting up your boat? Engine height, setback, prop, etc.

I will let you be the first one to drive the boat. :up: That way too if there is an issue or anything needs tweaking then there will be some experience behind the wheel. :)

Any guesses as to my top end in a 18 thunderstream with 200 pro xs, 28 chopper a nose cone and hydraulic jack combined with a driver who doesnt mind pushing the parameters of sanity?

That combo would be in the mid to.upper 70s, a good all around setup. The issue is the 5800 limiter. A good 30 pitch might be a good top end prop but would take a while to get there.

Yes, like I said before you will end up with a couple props for different conditions if you want to maximize your set up.
