    Tried out the 15-1/2x16 SWS2 today. Performance was better than the 4blade power tech but still not quite where I would like it. WOT fully trimmed, me the wife and a pup, about 35 gallons of fuel, 6000 rpm-45 mph. Still a little cavitation on tight turns. I’m ok with mid 40s speed but I’d really...

    Odd that’s the numbers I got with the 4 blade 15. Me and the wife aboard (we’re both lightweights), a small dog, about 40 gallons of fuel, and calm waters 6000-6100 rpm- 42 mph. I guess I’ll go ahead and try the SW2 16 since I already have it. Seems like I surely will a change. ‍Thanks for the info

    How did it turn? Do you have the ESP hull?

    Gotcha. I ask because the 15-1/2x17 wasn’t available but the 16 was so I’ll have it next week. Based on the numbers some folks here are posting I may be better off with the 16 anyway. They are saying “lightly loaded” they are turning just under max RPM. I likely will have quite a few peeps with...

    I’m in South Arkansas. Bought the boat from Bayou Outdoors in Bossier. Long story but I ordered two boats the same color. They kept making the seats wrong (not how I ordered) when the second boat came in also wrong, I worked things out with the dealer and bought the first one. Could be the...

    Thanks for the input! Yes dealer has been great so far. They were open and honest with the fact that they don’t sell many “R” models or ESP Hulls so their experience setting them up is limited. As long as I don’t damage the PT they’ll work with me I believe.

    Another problem on the maiden voyage was the depth finder wouldn’t work while on plane. I’m guessing a transducer adjustment is in order? I’ve seen a post about this but not sure where.

    Yes trimming down to turn. Really can’t trim much even going straight because it starts to cavitate. The PT is an OFS

    Are you running the SW2 17?

    OK, so I finally got the new boat in the water and I was a little disappointed in the performance. I couldn’t make the tight turns I wanted to without considerable prop slip. I didn’t request a certain prop, I let the dealer rig it. They installed a Power Tech 15-1/4”x15 four blade. With a light...
