great idea! 30mph is a perfect cruise speed for V20s. You want to do that at about 5k rpm and still have lots of room to push it on a flat calm day. The 14 x20 tops out on my boat just under 6k rpm. The SkunkBoat is Heavy due to hard top, fishing gear and full tank.

We were able to get Dave's 18 foot Nitro bass boat to 47 mph gps at 6200 rpm, but we couldn't go WOT without overreving, so he needs more pitch.

Shep, I sent you a pm.

ok so I made it out yesterday and hit 5400 rpm and 32 mph with the throttle hammered . I thought about it last night and this morning I adjusted the throttle cable at the motor. I couldn't adjust it too much without getting the idle turned up to high but did manage to get 5600 to 5700 rpms and 35mph . I was expecting a little more but didn't have anymore throttle to give it .. Could my cable be worn out ? It seems like I could get more RPM if I had more throttle. Or am I expecting too much out of the motor ? Again im ok with 30 mph. I don't need anymore speed ,at this point im just messing around .

Randleman , How much you want for the prop ? Or would you rather I send back ? You can PM me we don't have to negotiate in public .

Thank you for letting me use it !
