Hey BobB,......just wondering...

[Bill McElroy]

Do you have any "used" props in stock?? Looking to get one at a good price.



Either a Laser II, Tempest or a Trophy....

13.75" x 23 or 24.



(The Merc prop selector recommends a 25P for my boat, but I'm getting exactly 6000rpms at WOT with my current 23P)



Let me know...thanks!!

Mac

What size engine please?

If it's the 150.....the Tempest has a diameter of 14 5/8....and I do have one {freshly rebuilt too!}.....check your e-mail.....if it's the one you want $200.00+ shipping {yes, HUGE discount}. It does NOT have the flo-torq hub. You have e-mail with pics.....

 

[Bill McElroy]

I have a 1994 150HP EFI,.....2.5 Liter

 

[Bill McElroy]

Dude,...that looks SWEEET!!!!:wub: Do I need the flo-torque hub??:blink:

 

[Bob Bourget2]

You do unless you have an extra. It is the removeable plastic hub....if you don't have one I'm sure I can "find one"......

 

[Bill McElroy]

I think I need to make a call!!



Thanks for the hook-up Bro!! Great talking to you,...I ( or I mean WE) sure do appreciate all of your help, advice, and knowledge sharing on this board....you are one helluva valuable asset for sho!! I think I need to send you a custom 'toon for your office wall....let me ponder the possibilities!!



Have a great week!!

Mac

 

[Bob Bourget2]

You are ENTIRELY WELCOME!!! Anytime!!! Getting it boxed up as we speak. I included the plastic hub and the brass insert....all you'll need is your prop nut, tab washer and thrust hub.

 

[Bill McElroy]

Bob,...took the boat out today and all I can say is,..."SUUUUHHWWEEEEEEEEEEEET!" LOL

It had a great holeshot with the old Laser II on it,..but the hole shot now is just sick!! ahaahaha...it's almost like a the boat just lifts up and rockets outa the hole like it's on a hydrafoil....really happy with that...it went from "great" to "HOLY @#$~!"

AND,.......you would think since it's a 14.75" vs the 13.75 that was on there,..that I would turn a couple hundred LESS RPM....NOT!! It's actually turning @200-300 MORE!!(6200 was what I pegged out at) I didn't have to remove any of the plugs either. I'm wondering if I could've gone to a 24P, but it's not that important now....I'm very happy with this new Tempest,.....it's turned a good lil boat into a freakin' GREAT lil boat!!:wub: Can't wait to hit the BIG water Sunday! Thanks again....you are the MAN!!



My water pressure is right at 14-15psi at WOT.......I installed a new gauge too so that was another reason I had to test it out today. I'm a happy dude right now!!

 

[Bob Bourget2]

Great! Don't worry about the rpm, that motor will handle a lot more. Water pressure is right where it should be, but don't let it get any lower. Be safe!



Edit: 1. diameter change on the tempest.

2. The "other" reason for the increased rpm is the cool spring temps. Expect a couple hundred less when it warms up......

 

[Bill McElroy]

I'll keep you posted on performance and data changes if anything develops. Thanks again for the hook-up and the constant stellar advice!!

 

[Bob Bourget2]

You're welcome my friend!!!!
