I would be real interested in how it runs and with which prop you're using. I have a 220 Escape with the 250hp HO running a 21 pitch rebel that came with it and am thinking about maybe getting a different prop, but haven't found much info on these fish & ski hulls. How about a performance review on how she handles once you get her on the water?

I believe the new boat is getting a rebel prop. We traded out the prop on the original ranger, as I wanted something with a bit more torque to get me out of the water when I was skiing. For us that was more important than speed We really don't need to do more than 30 mph, which it does easily and then some. Of course we did also get a jack plate. I have no clue what pitch prop we actually were using.

I can't help but think that the rebel will have plenty of torque, I haven't skied in years but I think it would pull 4 slalom skiers at once and still rip their arms off.:D I' ve been thinking about a 4 blade but haven't been able to find much info on them other than the walleye boats to compare similar hull design.
 
Stopped at Sundance Marine in grand junction yesterday, they are now a ranger dealer. 3 beautiful 2018 rangers on Floor, they should do well with rangers.
 
I bought my new bought in nov it's a 2017, so it was basically a year old for a brand new boat. It was the dealer demo and I got it for 10k less than a 2018 would have cost plus it's got almost every option available since it was the dealer demo. I considered it my early Christmas present to myself.

We generally head to the SJ. Only been to Hite once, and we broke down on the way back. Ugh!
