Re: prop survey
When I was pre-mixin', I used an ''Accu-Mix'' bottle...lines on side of bottle tell EXACTLY how much oil to add for the gallons of gas you just put in...there are some other brand names that look and do the same...$3.99 ;)

Re: prop survey
Paint is going to slow you down!!
When under way, trim the motor up to achive best speed!! I can go from 30 to 38 just buy lifting the motor, just becareful , the goal is to get it up with the least amout of resitance, but to make sure your still in the water, if you come up to high you will hear the motor rev! My best with a 175 hp is 40 but I am alone, with a light load! Most of the time full boat I go around 30 and top at 36 like you. Goes real nice slow like 28 or so!!

Re: prop survey
MJ's right as usual..paints SLOWS a boat by adding resistance to the flow goin' under the hull...
W/my 150 WOT(6000 rpms) and trimmed to max(and still bitin') GPS shows 42 and cruisin' about 32... ;)
