[/img]Well here's the new prop. MUCH faster hole shot and tops out around 52mph I guess. My GPS says 46.8 kts and I dont know how to change it or what the conversion factor is. I also didnt run it WOT but close. It was a little rough when I took the time to play with her. I know the boat is MUCH more responsive in cornering and the steering seems to be better , though @ higher speeds it is still a handful. The really cool thing is I can cruise at 4000 rpm and 36-38 mph. Hopefully that will get my fuel mileage down some!! That Opti loves gas!!! <2 mpg!!!!!
