Gilly -

Correct - i have them backwards 13 3/4 x 15 and 13 1/4 x 17.

My boat is a pretty light rig. Overall, the performance is pretty remarkable. I come out of the hole with little to no bow rise. Probably because my tank is forward, and my console is a little forward as well, with no front seat. On plane the boat runs very flat. I think my only need for tabs would be to adjust side to side or slowing the planing speed.

I can stay on plane down to about 16 mph. I can cruise all day long at 4000 - 4200 running 27 mph. @ 4500 i'm running 30 mph with another 1000 RPM's to play with. I haven't checked my fuel mileage, but i've put almost 7 hours of break in time on the motor and have not put fuel in the tank yet. Filled it up on day 1, almost 55 gallons.

I'm very interested to see what happens if i throw 4-5 people on and a sandbar type load with coolers and such.

If i find a few extra pennies, i might move up to a stainless powertech and see how it runs. You'll probably see some aluminum props in the for sale section soon.
