Even though she's only 115 hp, remember that an inline 6 has a lot more torque than a V6 of the same displacement. Don't be afraid to experiment with different pitch props to find the one that's "just right" for your needs. You should do fairly well with her. Congrats on the short lived hull wetting, sounds like you're on the right track for some major fun.

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
