Once again, a plethora of information. Thank you Denny! I have priced out the four blade Power Tech at $269 for the OES?, or something in SS. Doug is running SS and not concerned with striking limestone, so I think this will be my choice. I love speed and chine walking from the days of my, now brothers, Jersey Speed Skiff, but realistically, I want to have the ability to plane at 12 mph. Right now, falling off at 28-30 SUCKS!!! And max fuel economy will be critical with a 40 gallon tank. I'd really like to make it to the Bahamas some day, aboard my own boat, with the experience of our members. I can't think of anything more rewarding than crossing with ideal conditions and in a group. I was a FD Captain, not a Boat Captain! Haha. Have to remember that. Great hearing from you and Thanks again.

Oh, and no, he did not measure fuel pressure, nor did he add the additional (fuel?) filter under the cowling. Even talked me out of the expensive addition of the latest Smart Gauge for quick reference, and even water pressure/temperature Guage. I'll get there one day.
