ok, forget the 25 in shaft, i am a 20in. was mistaken.
center of shaft is about 3.5 below pad. playing with props. marginal 14x26 and it ran 56 @5500. new 14.5 x 25 four blade ran 62.2@4700. next prop available is 14 1/8 x 23 4blade will be trying soon. I'm wide open to suggestions and info.
should i be looking for larger or smaller diameters for best speed on this boat? and yes, I do understand the difference between pitch and diameter
found a 26 chopper but it only ran 62 constant cavation, couldn't fool it into grabbing. season ran out before i could lower it down some. i have hit 68 with a 24 3 blades at 5300
