    cruisecraft outsider 580 135optimax

    Hi all,
    Just after any info on performance on similar sized riggs fitted with 135 Optimax 2.5l v6. I have already purchased motor 05 model and checking my options for upgrading to 150 hp with new pcm. I have seen pcm's on ebay usa from $250 to $500 us. The hull on the cc weighs 900kgs.And what size prop should be used it came with 17p vengence.
    regards Paul

    It will go fine, probably do around 34 knots. 17 vengence should be about the right prop for it.

    Hi Paul,
    Had a mate who had a 550 Outsider with a 135hp Merc, swinging a 19p Laser prop and he had no trouble seeing 39-40 knots. With an Optimax I would consider an 18p Raker type prop from Solas as the Optimax needs a slightly smaller prop. Give Steve at Solas a call about and 18p prop.

    I have a 575 Outsider with 135 Optimax 04 model and 17p Vengance. Roughly 1nm per litre at 3800-4500. Mine trims to 2.7 at 5500rpm for 35 and a bit knotts. 400 hours on the clock and no problems to date. Love it.

    Cheers
    Chris
