Thanks Destroyer and Thefermanator...the existing prop has a bent blade and a another blade with a chip in it, so that might explain the reported max speed of 43 from the previous owner. I suspect that the speed was recorded from the dash speedometer. I am curious to see what the impact of a new prop will be and will follow-up in the summer after launch. I will note GPS speed measurements.

Regarding the weight, the brochures call out a weight of 1920 lbs, with an associated max hp of 200. Not sure how accurate that is (?). In 1989 and thereafter, the brochures noted a weight of 2300, with and an increase in max hp to 235 (if I remember correctly). Any idea which is more accurate?

Thanks, Duke
