Hit the lake late evening, dreary, drizzly, conditions. Saw 1 other boat. Water low, able to slide under the bridges that normally restrict me. Saw 1 other boat all evening. Fun solo cruise. New Solas 14.25 x 17 prop is perfect. Wasn't sure at first b/c my Garmin would not acquire satellites (had to perform an auto-locate), but once it did I could tell this prop is as good as and probably a touch better than the old prop. I hit 5300 rmps 42 mph without trimming to full capacity. Old prop was a struggle to get much over 5100.
Oh yeah, and the tilt/trim unit works great! Now I'm just waiting for that Saturday/Sunday weather window to get out and pound the bottom critters off the coast.
