08 voyager set up for skiing and pulling toys
08 voyager set up for skiing and pulling toys
I have an 08 voyager with a 300xs. The motor is in the lowest mounting on boat. It has a Bobs 6in set back jack plate,SM 1.62 gear case and pro et 28 lab finish prop. 0-40mph the boat porpoises badly and has very high bow lift and prop slips to much to pull up skier on 1 ski, Does anyone have a good set up to pull skiers and water toys for this outfit?

Re: 08 voyager set up for skiing and pulling toys
28 lab finished what, chopper or cleaver? Either way, go smaller. I use a 24" chopper for my everyday prop. Pulls skiers, tubers, and runs 75 mph balls out. The porpoising is still an issue for me, hope to settle that down with a drag plate. Where in Canada are you??

28 pitch ain't bad for a 300xs, the porpoising is an issue for these boats,see if you can distribute some of the weight around to the front, it could just be stern heavy

Re: 08 voyager set up for skiing and pulling toys
One solution, you could sell me the voyager!
I would try a smaller pitch 20-24 get you on plane faster maybe a trophy or a high five is what I run when sking wth my checkmate, as stated above drag/cavitation plate and weight distribution plays a huge part, less setback on your jackplate would help a lot . Me personaly ive never heard of anyone totally solving porpisiong with a newer voyager. Wonder if a whale tail would help?

Have you checked out fast boats Canada? There's a couple guys around Winnipeg who could help you out, possibly set up some sort of test and tune.....

Hydrofoil recommended I put on their original classic hydrofoil wing. has been a big improvement in porpoising and bow lift is half of before. Can pull me up on one ski now. How strong is the ski bar? Can it handle 2-3 tubes with adult boys on them? Should I reinforce it?
