He's now over at bandofboaters on there forum. The old propgods forum is now strictly an archive. His side business is mobile prop testing(don't know his day job). He has a van he loads full of props, and will bring them out for a $95hr charge, and let you test unlimited props. Also if he has a prop you want to test in his test props, he will ship it out to you and let you try it for the cost of shipping and I believe $35. If it works you can buy it, if it doesn't, ship it back and you can try more. It's ALOT cheaper than buying them at full cost, then reselling them if they don't work out. The PERMATRIM did WONDERS for mine, but I still need a better prop to get up on plane better. I ca nactually plant my bow down SOLID at WOT instead of bouncing away, and hold the bow at cruise instead of flopping like a fish on deck. I'm hoping a prop swap, and I can jump on plane, and hold the boat level running without porpoising. When you get done with the boat, he's going to need to know WOT RPM's AND speed as well as ALL the details on your prop so he can figure prop slip and see how it's currently hooking up so he can better judge what prop you will need. Also if you go with a powertech prop, some of them will vary GREATLY in how they hook up. Say you need a 17 pitch in a blade run of the mill OEM type prop. Some of there props will run the same while others will require a 18 pitch, but a few of them hook up so well, you would need to drop down to a 13 or 14 pitch. And engine height is CRITICAL. With my hydragfoil, I actually picked up top end speed, but I have to have the engine height DEAD on perfect before it will pick up and go. A touch to high and it porpoised, to low and it just throws water all over. Gotta love a hydraulic jack plate.
