    Default The road trip

    Hi Dudders, We went with electic blue and the V6 190hp. I was going to ask you what pitch prop you run with. I will be flying down to Sydney and driving back in a hire car by my self. Hoping to drive straight through about 32 hours but I'll see how I go closedeyes:. My missus is more excited than the kids. Only 4 days to go the boat should be in Sydney on Tuesday can't wait.

    Regards

    Hi Mayal.. I've got a 21 pitch 3 blade aluminum on mine. Generally the factory gets it right with their prop selection though. If you do a lot of wakeboarding / skiing etc then you might be better off buying a 2nd prop with 1-2 lower pitch or upping to a 4 blade for a little more 'bite'.

    Smile Sydney Dealer

    Hi Shilo, I went through a direct importer, however he has now merged with Network Marine. His name is Con Amvrazis give him a call direct on 0421 107661. Con was the cheapest by far, I picked up my Mariah V6 for $29990 but no rego or safety gear. I have seen them on the net for $38000 so the small cost of rego and safety gear approx $1000 is nothing compared to a saving of $6000 - $7000. Comes on a Dunbier trailer included in the price. I hope this helps. He might be a little dearer now he is with a boat yard?

    I would be a little wary of a salesman by the name of "con". His middle name wouldn't be "artist" would it???

    Hey mikeyt. very funny. My family and I had good laugh at his name too. Lucky for us his full name is Constantine. It was a bit of a worry though we have been waiting for nearly 5 months. It's in Sydney now being put on the trailer and having the windshield fitted. Yah hoo.
