I like the fact that guy who installed the prop had a calibrated elbow. I learned that "skill" in the service.

It has to be calibrated with the trusty block of wood.😆

@genefogarty5395 5 ай бұрын

Jet drives are nowhere near as efficient as a prop, so no. Two boats of the same size, weight and HP, the prop boat will be faster. I had a jet boat and loved it, then I got a surface drive prop boat and forgot about the jet, lol.

Why do the race boats have to start off with their engines in gear?

@dannyt9067 8 ай бұрын

They don’t have a typical transmission that can shift into gear while the engine is running. They use what’s called a “crash box” type trans that is way more reliable but can only shift into gear with engine off.
