Hi Guys,
Been looking at Supras for a long time and finally bought one last weekend. Its a 1984 with 700 hrs on it. I was looking at an open bow and a closed bow. Went with the closed because I kept hearing that the open bows tend to get wet pretty easy and where I boat it can get pretty choppy. Lots of big cruisers going by etc. Interior was original and not shot but needed some updating to get rid of the "Magnum PI" stripes. So its all out getting updated.
The prop had a ding in it which created a sweet vibration, so I bought a OJ 3 blade 13x13 cause that's what was on it. I just stumbled on a brand new 4 blade 13x13 though also. With a stock motor and running at close to sea level can I turn that prop? or do I need to step down to less pitch? I'm not planning on running ballasts or anything.
Here's a couple of pics
