Vulture set up
New to the forum. Just picked up an 82 vulture. hydraulic jack plate. 20" mid. coned lower and im having a mild 2.5 power head built. What kind of speeds could i see and what kind of prop should i start with. Ive had speed boats before but this is my first stream. Anything i should know about my boat that a first time owner wouldnt know? I will post pics of the boat soon. Thanks for the advice. Steve

Re: Vulture set up
Welcome.to the forum.
Has the core been.replaced if not search the subject and some restoration thresds. Take your time to.learn to drive it because a pad boat can hurt you.
Is it a v bottom or a xt?
It should run well with a chopper style prop try to meet up with some guys that will let you try a couple out to see what works the best.

Re: Vulture set up
I would have to agree. The vultures love lots of set back to really get them to fly. I will be running a 10" jack plate on my vulture.ScreaminVking78 wrote:im gunna say round ear wheel between 26&28 pitch range 10-14" of setback if transom can take it.
