No....best way is to line up and run with other folks. They drive off and leave you, they have more hp and torque.

 Re: Gator tail /pro drive / mud buddy propRPM
well the new gearing for a Gator Tail is 1.263 to 1 ! so if ur turning 4350 on the motor that means the prop is turning 3444 rpms!

 Re: Gator tail /pro drive / mud buddy propRPM
Yeah that 38 mph hull is my new haul design I ran A GTR 35 on the prototype it did run 38 mph One thing I did not know is the Clown that owns the GT IS Running a 38 on top and a 38 on bottom But motor was stock other then gutting out the exhaust
There four ratio 1 to 1 MOTOR RPM PROP RPM 4350. I'll heave a video some time after New Years.
Can say this new hull Design blows a Norman flat out the water.

 Re: Gator tail /pro drive / mud buddy propRPM
Sooooo....let me make sure I read all this right...A stock 35 gator tail with a gutted exhaust and 1:1 drive ratio (  ) turned 4350 RPMS and ran 38 mph on this magical drag boat hull you designed?
