I'll put up some numbers soon as I got 'em...I wanna know too!!...have FF/GPS unit on the way...need to get T & T seal replaced and GPS in and try the 17P & 19P props on hand to see which is best...will be a while...but thanks for the interest!!...

Destroyer mentioned the rough bottom..he's right...when Spare and I wet tested I was looking at the water coming from under hull at speed...pretty sudsy...it'll be interesting to see if I really pick up any top end when I get her smoothed out...The Merc feels STRONG though!!...I think it can come up another notch on the transom...anticav plate just under water on plane...I want it just above...one notch up oughtta 'bout do it...
