Jimmy,
I'm putting 21x24's on the boat next time I get to work on her. Thats as much prop as I can run per everyone's model. Hope that raises my cruise from 27.5-28 to close to 29 or higher.Boat was underpropped running 20x20's with the engines reaching their max no load rated rpm while running. Still remember that open ocean B31 drag race two years ago with Fighting Angel,Hucklebuck, and Seanile. All four boats had 300+hp per side but my weight disadvantage with the 8.2 v8's and being underpropped had John F and I pulling up last place after the 30 or so miles from Cape May to AC. You going to be ready by the Shark Tourney ? Sounds like a big project (bigger than me painting my hull).
