    Smart Tabs on Deck Boat

    I recently installed smart tabs in my hurricane 187 I/O. I read tons of reviews and expected some improved performance. I got the 60lb actuator per the recommendation of the nauticus rep. I did a test run over the weekend. I lost about 4mph off my top end. My hole shot was not noticeably...

    Confused/issue with stainless 4 blade

    I recently purchased a stiletto bay pro 2 (4 blade stainless). It's 14 1/4 x 18 pitch. I was replacing the stock aluminum 14.5x19 that came on my 2012 Hurricane 187 sun deck. The engine is a mercruiser 4.3 MPI 220hp. The numbers I was getting on the aluminum prop were as follows: 49 mph at...

    150 OB vs 4.3 I/O on a Hurricane

    I'm narrowing my search for a deck boat and I'm leaning towards a used Hurricane. There doesn't seem to be a ton of inventory. However, 1 local dealer has two used 2001 Fundecks: 1) '01 Fundeck FD201 20' w/ 4.3 i/o 190 hp 2) '01 Fundeck FD226 22' w/Merc 150 hp 2 stroke OB Both boats are...
