As to diesel, there is a weight consideration in a planing craft, and while us blown boaters prefer the safety of diesel inboards, like the idea of keeping the SeaCraft original as possible.

Man . . Phnx you're one difficult complex dude. I'll bet that diesel is lighter than your setup now. You'll get better range and similar performance . . . especially if your 1976 motor is getting a little tired. I had a great time trying different props on my boat to find the right one. Each prop was very different and caused the boat to handle differently. Personally I really liked the Highfive, so if you try out one of the five blade hillmarine props I'd be interested to hear how you like it. The high five was super super smooth and I could turn the boat sideways at 45mph and still hold water. Where are you located?
