Last night after we ran in a guy came over to ask what was up? He was Running His Baja WOT and told me that we were Pulling on him, to the point that he could no longer read the name on the Back. We are running a 14.25 x 25 factory S.S prop, on a 1996 Four Winn Horizon, Volvo Penta/5.0 Carb with a 1:66/1 O.D. After he took a look he starts telling me we are way over proped? With a GPS we run 53 mph+/- 2 and turn 4200 rpm. I have three kid's and always seem to have extra! We pull all the toys with no issues, so what is this guy telling me. Last night we just left with a big smile, I know she run's strong, and look's like the day she left the factory, the reason we named Her "She a Cougar" but come on that Baja should run all over this boat.

Re: Too Much Prop?

Sounds more like his Baja is running like crap if you're running at 53mph WOT and he can't keep up.
