Doesn't a Mobius ride sort of low in the bow?

Hell ya it does! Ask me how I know. I almost owned a yellow submarine not too many seasons ago.

LOL! I can visualize that comment taking place!

hello, the distance Vaasa / Finland -> Umeå / sweden is about 100km. 20km is a river in Sweden. intended to brew beer in Sweden and then back��

Vito,

I work for Volvo Truck and have been to their plant in Umea many times and have several good friends that live there. I assume you will travel up the Ume river. I have an 2005 Mobius LSV which is the same boat as yours and the low freeboard is not ideal for open ocean water. They are designed for towing riders on calmer waters. Good luck on your trip and drink a beer for me at Lottas Krog!

Vaasa and Umeå's gap is a narrow sea, no ocean. Open sea maybe 40 km (24miles). A quick boat does not last a long time to cross the sea. Then a river along the city.
The Finnish side is a large protective archipelago.

windless air, so no problem. But the propeller should be different that the pace would be greater

Let us know when you make the trip. Take some pictures too. Really sounds interesting. But still be careful.

Consider the OJ 454, 13.7" diameter x 17.5" pitch or the OJ 1291, 14" x 20". https://www.ojprops.com/

man, looking online it doesn't look that bad but NO WAY I would cross in that boat if it was me. bay of green bay was anxiety enough out in the "open" water of the great lakes and can only see land on one side and depth can creep up in a hurry. we never put on lake michigan in WI just due to the boat size vs water size.

either way if you make the journey post up some pics. cool to see owners in other parts of the world.

can the 14 ”propeller spin? i'm afraid it hits the bottom of the trailer. what are the axel details? has anyone installed a larger pitch propeller? what is speed ? are there good used propeller stores in the US?

I run a 14" prop on my 05 LSV which is the same hull as your boat. No issues with trailer clearance with the factory Boatmate trailer. There were several props for sale in the classified section. Most of us on this forum are running extra ballast and lower pitch props so top speed is not a concern. The OJ 454 came on my boat from the factory.
