- 5.0 MPI Alpha Drive / High Five 17p prop
I know another Prop question :smt021
Anyway it's a 2008 Sundeck 200 with 5.0 MPI / Alpha 1
The problem is getting on plane & maintaining a consistent speed.
I'm assuming it's a stock Prop ( 19 Vengenge)
Wot is about 45-48mph at 5,000rpm
Most of our time is spent wakeboarding and simply cruising around. Top Speed is not a major concern. We are looking for holeshot and consistent speed control.
I tried one of those bolt on hydrafoil deals from West marine. Didn't help much. Our boys want a few ballast bags for the bow lockers. Is this the correct sollution or should I invest in a new prop or both? If I go with Ballast bags I would go with 2 - 350Lb bags & place them in the bow storage lockers and use a portable pump. NO HOLES BEING DRILLED HERE.
Please reply
Thanks,
Troy & Bridgette
