I tried prop number three yesterday while chasing bass on the Westport River (MA). The latest prop is a 14x17 and this seems to be the one. At WOT and with the motor trimmed I got 5400 rpms and 39 mph. It has plenty of umph to get out of the hole and up on plane. Someday I'll have to get trim tabs if nothing else just to get the nose down at the lower rpms. Attached are some photos of the newly painted transom, new motor etc.. Thanks for the excellent advise, this site is not only addictive but helpful!
