[C38] Flex-o-Fold

Thu Jul 3 00:50:00 EDT 2014

Dirty bottom, Max Prop reinstalled at 18 degrees, 2800 rpm 6.5-6.9
knots.  Diver had the history of installing the prop over the last three
years, originally we set it at 22, then 20 and finally settled on 18 two
years ago.  I love this prop, the boat is so so much smoother, the
engine sounds better and it is just so much more pleasurable of a motor
with it versus the racing martech folding prop.

	Boat speed is great! But, its maxing out at 2400, so I am
running 2000 to 2100 with upper 6 knots, no black smoke, some steam, not
over heating but running on hotter side. Now this is with totally new
bottom paint/ barrier after soda blast. Have not sailed yet, but expect
boat to be fast. watch out Chessy 38ers. How does your prop/boat
compare, Steve?

		Perfect, I debated PYI rec of 20-22 deg, but decided on
18 deg, so I'm glad to hear you are at 18 also. Cant wait to launch
tomorrow to see how the boat does with new bottom and prop setting.
