24 Raker on Viper

Post: # 11904Post ryansviper »

Well I found a good used 24 Raker prop the previous owner said he only tried it a few times looks new in all pics wife doesn't know I bought it yet best part. What kind of speed can I expect with it I have LWPU, dual steering and a raised transom I know it's at least 2" but I think it's more like 4".

I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll get a chance to put the viper in the water and see what she will do this weekend. My understanding is a raker is a bow lifter prop how will that effect my ride I am hoping that it doesn't make the boat start porpusing a lot.
