What I got on it now is a Quicksilver S.S. 14.5 x 17p which is tacking too high rpm wise.
What I got to try is a Mercury Mirage Plus 15.5 x 17p
Mercury Mirage Plus 15.25 x 19p
Older NIB Mercury 15.5 x 21p
Mercury Rev 4 14.625 x 17p
If all goes well and the last 2 come in before the weekend I might try to make a few runs and see what kind of numbers I get. I will post the findings. Hopefully GFS this may help you moving forward when the time comes and gives me an excuse to run her before I pull the motah...

Gitcha Motah Runnin...
Funny story about the wildlife ocifer.
In the mid eighties, I had a Moto Guzzi 1000 Lemans.
Heavily worked. Branch heads. Venolia slugs,B1 cam, 44mm DeLortos, Bub pipes etc.
Had a cardboard tag on the back which read SEE YA. Got a ticket in the mail for 40 points.
First charge was attempting to elude. Crossed it out and plead not fair.
It was a long winter driving the old Volvo wagon in Vt... The second summer Windsor county bought not 1 but 2 KZ 1000`s. Nobody taught em how to ride though. Of course there is more to the story.
Frizz, would love to see more numbers. I was talking with the folks at 7 Marine at the show this year. They have a dual prop LU now...and I may have made mention of a possible trade
for test mule marketing in exchange for 1040 lbs of Detroit muscle.
Insanity, I know,
Cheers,
GFS
