Post Gator tail /pro drive / mud buddy propRPM
Can any one tell me the Final or RPM horsepower and torque at the prop.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THE ENGINE.
I am asking about at the final drive of the propeller.
Any help would be much appreciated thanks guys

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

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.

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