Quick update: finally got it out on the river to test, and the 21p Hustler 4 blade performed almost identical to the 23p Vengeance, other than it got up on plane much quicker and had way more bite around the dock. Gonna use their exchange to swap to a 19p. Whoever said that their props are about...

Yea, his Rinker was identical to this one: https://storage.bhs.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_e7d15450bedd40b9b599e075527df3cb/carbondale/f1989_Rinker_Captiva_206__5500_Boonville_59b22cff6721d.jpg When I was buying there were 4 things on my must have list: Captains chairs with bench and sundeck layout...

Yea, I saw that as well. I actually threw a stainless 14x23 3 blade (Vengeance) on it after seeing that, but I was overpropped. Holeshot was fine, but I couldn't get rpm's high enough at WOT. I had it in my Amazon cart for a while, but then it went OOS. The 14x21 4 blade is a bitch to find...

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I threw a 4 blade 14x21 hustler on my boat to try this summer. My understanding is that usually you want to drop 1" of pitch when going from a 3 blade to a 4 blade, but I haven't been able to confirm that. I know for a fact that 14x20 4 blade is...

The MPI and the carbed Thunderbolt IV engines have different gear ratios. You're set up to run a lower pitch prop with a 1.61 if I remember right. The 1.82 in mine wants a slightly higher pitch prop, so when I throw a 19" on it, it's horrendously underpropped. I agree that it's a great engine...

The problem with the 19 was it'd run 5 grand at 3/4 throttle and wouldn't even hit 40 mph.

Aluminum or SS Solas? Also, what was your WOT like with the 14x23? I've thought about going to a 14x22 4 blade if I can track one down as well. I'd prefer to stay Aluminum while I'm testing, not to mention the river here is full of sediment, sand bars, wing dams, and submerged crud that any...

I've looked up the original before, would've been a 23p Black Max. The main thing is I want to jump to a 4 blade for pulling skiers and better fuel economy for running the river. I was just hoping someone has swapped to a Hustler at some point with this hull and try and figure out whether to go...

I've got a 1999 185BR with the 190hp 4.3L V6 in it. Alpha 1 drive with 1.81 gears. I've run a few different props on it with varying results. When I bought it this summer, the previous guy had a 14x19 3 blade black max on it, which was hideously underpropped and would run over 5 grand easy...

I am as well. Thankfully I can get my live sports from our Hulu Live TV subscription pretty easily, plus we get our local channels as well.

If I was you, I'd either looking into streaming TV (Hulu Live TV, YoutubeTV, etc) paired either with hotspotting off a phone, or look into Starlink for high speed satellite internet. Way more versatile, way cheaper, and significantly lower up front costs.

Dunno, I never checked

Mine would do the exact same thing started like a dream and ran great until it warmed up, then refused to idle. I'm telling ya, tune the carb for idle once it's warm and you'll be in good shape.

This is the answer. I just went through this same issue with mine. Hook it up to the muffs in your driveway, and start tweaking the mixture screw (front and center of the carb) until it starts running properly at idle, and then tweak the idle mixture screw until it idles at 650rpm. Rinse and...
