    Hello All

    I figured Canyon would be a really good test for the ole F250. The 7.3 turbo did great, however I did pull over once to let the Sheriff and 2 other cars go by:wow:. I think I'll go to Saguaro this weekend

    Hey KC, You wrote "As far as props on our 270DA I am running 19" pitch 5 blade stainless behind a pair of 3.8, 185hp, v6's, 3,900 r.p.m. @ 30 m.p.h. We have different engines so it's tough to compare" Is 3900 WOT or at cruise? I'm curious at what speed the 270 needs to plane I noticed that...

    Hello All

    New Member saying Hi Just purchased my 10th boat, must be some kind of addiction. I got a 1984 Sundancer with twin 5.7 mercuisers and Alfa 1 drives.
