Nice stuff guys. PQ26, where do you usually boat in Michigan? I'm a St. Clair guy, but usually get a few trips to Torch, Charlevoix, Traverse Bay. Want to do Boyne Thunder this July.

Pretty much stay in Holland - Lake Macatawa. We had our trailer stolen but I am trying to talk my wife into a trip up north sometime. We will need to address the trailer situation though.

Hmmm.... sorry about the double pic.

AZFullthrottle,
What speed are you seeing with your set up? What prop are you running?
Nice looking PQ.

[AZFullthrottle]

Honestly..... I have no idea. Never head it in the water yet. Just got it in Nov. Has a 28P Bravo 1 prop tho. Only 87 Hrs on it.

Good luck with the new toy. I got my 280 2 years ago and I love it, it's a great boat. I'm curious how fast you will be with the pro charger, post some numbers when you get it out on the water.

[pantera24]

I put on a procharger at 5lbs of boost spinning a bravo 1 30p -- i saw 83 on gps. I actually need a bit more prob i'm still hitting the rev limiter. Ive got a 99 280 with a 502efi

[Murf]

pantera24,
So how does it handle at 83? Do you have longer tabs or K-planes. I have a 2000 with a stock 502 turning a 24p bravo I. I saw 67 on GPS. I was thinking of trying a 5 blade. It seems the 280's have a high X on them. I was wondering if a 5 blade would work better. Does your boat take a bit to get up on plane?

[pantera24]

let's just say i wouldn't want to go much faster than 83... it gets a little squirrely. I have 280 kplanes.

I'm not really sure about how long it takes to get up on plane. I've always had bravo equipped boats so I never hammer the throttle - i always ease it up on plane so I don't have to worry about breaking drives.

I don't know anyone running a 5blade -- try it and let us know! :-)
