Ride on 18's with brackets?

[jtnole02]

Let me back up and say that this is my first boat and I have only had it for less than a year, So here comes the rookie questions.

RED76-When you say propped right. You mean a 4 blade prop to get on a plane faster?

Right now the 1989 has a etec115 with only 200 hours on it that weighs 390lb, a dolfin and stainless 3 blade prop. Since its new, I will not be changing the motor. I will have to work with what I have. I do appreciate the suggestions though.

If I understand correctly, your suggestions are to get a 4 blade prop and some trim tabs first to improve the planing speed? If so, is there a particular prop that you would recommend?

Sorry, still in the learning process. Thanks!
