Appreciate the kind words. Ridge,I'm running a 15 1/4"X17P that I borrowed from my neighbor and it really slips till I get to about 20-25mph then its starts bitting. Might be the extra HP that we got outta the motor,don't know yet. Can't just go and re-tune a borrowed prop without buyin it ya know. Stock HP was 210 till we reworked the heads,bored .30 on the cylinders and a bunch of other goodies. Maybe somewhere in the 250-260HP class now and easily lookin at 60+ mph. Wanna race?

The prop in your pic will slip BAD until it gets on up in the RPM range with an I/O set-up. The blades on it just don't have enough surface area to get a good bite at low RPM's which is where an I/O needs it the most.

Well, HE double hockey sticks Yeah! That sounds like a plan. You will definitely need several more inches of prop though. I have been messing with my setup and I can turn the 23 Tempest to the limiter when light so I am stepping up to the 25 Tempest. I don't know if my 250 EFI Merc will turn it yet. My prop slip is a little high. Even if I was a little faster you will probably run cirles around me with fuel mileage.
Going to watch the go fasts in Sanford this weekend. I got the bug. I do have a 21p Thunderbolt (blades like the Mirage but without the exhaust relief holes) if you want to try it. Just a matter of shipping. Let me know. How many RPM do you plan to turn with that hot rod?
