TOPIC: An afternoon on the Great Sacandaga Lake

An afternoon on the Great Sacandaga Lake 14 years 6 months ago #9617

This video is on the north end of the lake from the gravel launch at Northville. Some wind earlier in the day out of the launch at North Broadalbin made it impossible to do video. So we headed up the lake to a quieter and smaller part where the boating was much better. Gail even got a few frames of herself!

Thanks Mike! Still experimenting with props, trying to get 'er right. Tried a 19 pitch 2 blade last night, wound right up in rpms, but only got to 23 mph. Next I'm gonna try a 23 pitch, see what happens.

F - So if you kick the motor up a little more it bounces more? Were you running at WOT in the video? B

Yes B, kick the motor up, start porpoising. This cruise was at about 25-30, maybe 3500 rpm, not WOT. It was north of the bridge from the Northville gravel launch site, and speed is limited there to 30.

Wide open throttle I get up above 4500 rpm, bounce off 5000, and get 38 mph, as long as the water is fairly calm. Any waves at all, forget it.

If it's decent tomorrow night I'll take her out with that 19 pitch 2 blade and see if she will bite before I head into WOT. Your comment made a lot of sense to me, as it seemed like I was slipping. Busy tonight with work stuff. F
