Sweet! Congrats! Gets some pics up. Nice report. I think you'll be right on target with your stainless decision. I'm a bit curious myself. I'm sure Bushwacker will chime in re. vacuum. If I'm not mistaken he's a proponent of such measurement to maximize performance and warn of impending doom
Impressive min. planing speed...
Your economy on the seafaring hulk is impressive, too - if you can pull 3mpg out of her I'll be upgrading sooner than I suspected. Love to hear more about rock and roll troll and drifting or sitting in swells.
I'm not familiar with variability of prop geometry on duoprops so your experience will be enlightening... please keep us posted.
PS you didn't buy the one in LA did you?
