Back on this... Thanks to all for the insight.

My mechanic has a B3 laying around that he's going to let me try out. I don't care so much about the top-end, the issue is as I load up or run in wind / chop, the wheel doesn't bite enough and the change in performance is material. Assuming the B3 bites alot more, this effect won't be as great and I'll get better economy and stress the engine less when running offshore with a load.

One issue I'm keenly aware of is that if I don't have enough slip w/ the B3 when I throttle up, the turbocharger won't spool... basically the opposite problem to the one I have now. This can be solved with less pitch, but then I'm increasing slip again.

Clearly a narrow potentially expensive corridor to navigate.
