    Your Motor turns 7,000 rpms....Your running 29's.... It ET's 9.40 at 125mph...
    the prop is a 2 blade, 11 1/8 X 16....
    Now..... Can you tell me how many revolutions the prop turns in the quarter mile....Good Luck..

    1414.7 revolutions if it hit 7000 instantly and stayed there for 9.40 seconds.

    I figure:
    7000 rpm x 1.29 gear = 9030 rpm
    9030 rpm / 60 = Revolutions per second 150.5
    9.40 seconds x 150.5 = 1414.7
    Mph, pitch,and color of boat shouldn't have anything to do with it.
    Right 058...no slippage and doubt 7000 rpm instantly and holding entire 9.40 seconds.

    I know the answer. If the guy right next to you ran a 9:30 you need a few more turns than you got. Just ask him and the subtract a few.
