old thread thought would add latest experience this summer.

23 with armstrong bracket, heavy boat. 300 verado V8 new this summer. I put the engine up higher than my old verado. much higher. used an extender plate from bobs machine to deal with 25" bracket spec and 30" shaft. very happy that did so raising engine so cav plate is clear at speed just above water. miami vice turn no ventilation blow out. I expected to have to lower a notch actually. ended up going higher was prefect imo.

19P Rev4 and I am easily at 6K RPM and no need trim. thats 2 guys, 120 gallons fuel, 60lbs ice, full gear fishing. loaded. like survival raft, tuna stuff. I am looking at a 20P, maybe 21P. If i was running 12 peeps to the beach like do on occasion I would stay 19P.

300 V8 wot is 5200-6000. So my next move to a 20 or 21P Rev4, debating.

For a 350, 23, i would start at 21P Rev4. I love the Rev4.

Ken does not carry merc props I think now. And all the try and buy went out the window with covid.

Oh, i am using regular Rev4. Not the XP, lab XP or whatever they are called.
