Thanks for the input. I still have the 16x 18 four blade prop and wonder if I could get it cut and rewelded to make it into a 16x24 or 16x 25 and if that would give me back the lost performance. My transmission guy could possibly be persuaded to open and rebuild the original v drive or swap gears to get me back to a 1.5-1 as well but he says that he doesn't rebuild them. My options down here in Baja are very limited as there are no prop shops and very few people that work on transmissions and drives. When the v drive went out it got so hot that the paint burst into flames so I am not too hopeful that a lot can be salvaged from that drive.
