finding the right prop

[shine]

lowered my motor 2 notches, it is now about 4" above bottom of keel. Very solid bite

Fuel flow shows 9-9.5 gph at 30 mph and 4200 rpm (into stiff wind), a little better with the wind (light load, 2 adaults, 2 tiny kids and 55 gal fuel, no ice, empty boat well)

27 mph at 8.5gph, 3900, into same wind.

I did not try any slower, but I dont think it get much better, we will see.

Im happy
