she's running a beat up 17 pitch prop now.... I was using prop calculators and they were recommending 15 pitch.... honestly I was surprised how well she did with the 17

I think I had a float sticking in one of the carbs as at one point she seemed to be making about 2/3 of normal power for a few seconds but she still got on plane and then gained power..... I realize that a carb running lean can kill the engine FAST but this happened within just a few seconds....

Suddenly it makes more sense....... I looked again and my beat up prop IS a 15 pitch...... DOH!

prop wizzard says 14x13 for watersports and 13 3/4x15 for speed

gotta love it when a "plan" comes together lol
