Walter, you're getting about what I was with 1.44:1 gears and 20 x 20 three blades. With the 1.9:1 gears and my current props, I'm turning 2600 WOT, actually 2650 on the port, 2600 starboard. I could stand taking a little off the starboard prop, but I'm going to try to up the horsepower this winter, may need more prop then. You need to turn at least 2600 wide open, loaded. All I did so far my changing gears was get the same performance with a larger prop. Does carry a load better, and handles better.
