[RUSTYNTABATHA]

phnx when u decide to learn the other side of boating besides power curves and complaining about the fastest motor on the water go to screamandfly.com. u can see how to properly replace ur prop and engine posistion to break the water plan and enter air space. i am willing to sacrafice fuel economy to out run that ( enter rival boat brand here) back to the dock when the weather is turning into the perfect storm anyday. clever, chopper and other surface piercing props do just that they run with some or most of the prop out of the water due to the engine hight related to the transom. if u run a suface piercing prop it is highly recomended that u also run a low water pickup because the factory water pickup could be as high as 4-6 " out of the water. some of the cat hulls have to assist stearing with two foot throttles due to the engines being so high out of the water they do not turn the boat at speed. pretty cool huh.
