Not sure anyone did, but I increased my cruise by 2mph, top end by 4 and my low end after last night droppped to 18/20 from 22/23 just by raising the motor - sounds like all systems go. The SeaCraft hull is not a semi-displacement, its a racing hull by nature, yes it will run with any power but they all like HP to perform at their best, their best being up on the high deadrise part of the hull at whatever speed.

Which means it needs HP. If you plow with them you are back running the lower deadrise at the outside of the hull, and defeating the purpose of the VDH - just say'in

My other prop did that, and it was wet and pounded, never got up on top - different boat with the Stlletto, entirely
