I finally got the boat out of storage today. Amazingly, it fired right up. I'll be skiing instead of working tomorrow. Too bad I'm moving to Korea in a few months and have to sell it.

I have a 1993 18' Sea Ray 4.3LMerc w/ Alpha One outdrive. I bought it a few months ago. It came with a 15' x 17 pitch aluminum prop (3 blade). I researched and the boat originally came with a 13.75' x 21 alum prop. I get 4800 RPMs (max for the engine) with an extra inch of throttle and 39 mph on...
