Got the proper plugs installed, it definitely idles and runs smoother in general. Didn't make any difference dramatic at higher rpms but the tach is definitely trashed. Today it was stuck on zero and then started hopping all over the place lol! As soon as the rain stops I'll get the prop installed and see what that does.
@76Red18, you are 100% correct about the similarity in hull motion between a Seacraft and a sailboat, both are just a pleasure to be on regardless of conditions.
Got a chance to try the 4 blade Apollo this afternoon and I have to say I think it is a big improvement. Hole shot time is cut in half, no loss in top speed and maintains plane down to 14 mph. Hard to tell rpms as the tach is all over the place, it read 5500 rpms at one point.
