Thanks Ferm I saw the Prop Gods on Google. For $95/hr they come to my lake and the fun begins. Since I am running a few too many rpm now the 4-blade 19 might be perfect. I never had any porpoising at WOT only at lower rpm while cruising with too much positive trim. I was thinking that the bow is riding pretty flat at WOT.
This hull was never intended for this much speed. It isn't scary fast but it really isn't practical either. When I get to go fishing on the weekends, I don't get to choose what the weather is going to be. The extra speed could be used about zero percent of the time on my average outing. I like the 35mph cruise @ 4000 rpm. I understand the 4-blade kicks butt in mid-range and acceleration.
