Boat loping at high speeds

PM sent.

I got my boat back from the BCB factory and the loping issue is gone. Several people at the factory drove it and determined there was slight loss of torque in the engine at the upper RPM range (went flat around 5000-5200 RPM’s). They worked on the hull to match it up to the engine torque and than setup the rig. They also changed the propeller for me.

I have run it on smooth, chop, and some rough stuff with no issues.

There were many people involved in correcting this issue. BCB went above and beyond helping me fix a problem that was not there own. I would also like to thank Ronnie Gilbert who was a huge help and one of my contact points while in Nigeria. Customer Service at its best!

Which Prop did they change you too? Do you still have the Fury3/4 24P? With my 25P Fury3 and/or Trophy Plus 25P I am only turning 55-5600 RPM’s.

They replaced the 25  with a 24 Fury 3. It ran 72.6 at 5800 RPM’s. Thats a dual console PII with twin Power poles. I was plenty satisfied.

BCB recommends the 24 Fury 3 on the 200hp Pantera’s.

Im more curious as to wat they set the engine height to? Or prop to pad.! Just a curious question.! I bought a Louisiana boat. Im a bama guy running a tuned (gilbert) 25 that gps72. As stated just curious

I will have to to do a P2P measurement. I will say my JP is just about flush. A wee bit above. I have a 24 Fury 4 I may get Ronnie to work. Mostly just to improve what is already great, hole shot and acceleration. I normally use it on small lakes and when my wife fishes with me, which is often. If I am bumping 50 mph, I get the look. Lol! The 4 blade carried the bow very well at low speeds.
