    For my application, what kind of pitch spread would y'all generally expect going with a 2-prop approach? (One prop for fully loaded...

    Scott, are you saying 15p is the lowest number you would go with? Or the highest number?

    Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense wrt/ to the lower available power on the 3.0L and the desire to get rpm's up quickly.

    How about this 3 blade? The cost of the merc/quicksilver seems pretty similar to Michigan Wheel and Solas. From what I've read the Alpha...

    Thanks for the feedback on the 3 blade. I respect y'alls opinions but I'm left a little confused on the recommendation. This may be...

    Your point on the compression test is interesting. When I performed my test the throttle plate was in neutral/idle position and the...

    Doing more reading on trim tabs, I'm not as leery as I was earlier about it. That's probably the route I'll go given the results many...

    Another thing about this boat that seemed to be perhaps less than ideal was the weight distribution. By that I mean when I was trying to...
