Billybob,

Actually I asked as everyone seemed to think 21" was too big. It's a 19" by 14.5" stainless. With that I am getting 56-5700 rpms at WOT. So far so good with the engine. I have 20 hours on it now. Yesterday I was out fishing and I found at between 3000rpms and 3500 the engine shook and bogged down on itself. The the check engine light came on...I brought it in and they hooked it up to the computer (neat stuff). The engine told the tech what was wrong with it. Some part was falling out of synch and needed a bracket which according to the tech, should have been on the engine to begin with. That did the trick. And the fuel economy! Really nice!
