Re: R4 surf

Also --- ive discovered that even though the 300 and 350 hp engines have the same basic power and torque curves up to over 4500rpm --- cobalt puts a k3 prop on the 300 and a k4 on the 350hp engine. has anyone ever experimented with different props on a r series boat?

Re: Surf model buying advice

Thanks so much for the responses. Can anyone speak to the surf difference between the r4 and r6? 5600lbs hull and 1200lbs ballast on the r4 vs 6100lb hull and 2300 lb ballast. maybe the additional hull length negates the extra weight on wave shape??
