Default A Sweet Ride

I finally had some time today to mess around with the boat, complete the
break-in cycle, and see what she will do.

Parker equipped my F150 Yamaha with a 15x15-1/2 three bladed black
stainless steel prop. Parker had been using props with more pitch and less
diameter, and apparently mine is one of the first with the smaller pitch.
I called the factory on this and was told the lower pitch prop helped the
engine rev up to 6000 rpm, and also helped with acceleration.

Well...the factory was right.


Congratulations on your new boat.




Thanks...it seems to be a great ride.
