GPS is probably wrong, wish I could have got a photo of it actually
that Stilletto prop is a horse, since I raised it I came back in a very very crappy Tampa Bay tonight at under 18-20 never would do that before - and it danced over everything, no spray except twice and not me LOL

"The GPS was wrong." That is darn right funny. Except for a few anomolies, they are pretty darn close 99.999% of the time. They are the heaviest instrument ever created by man.
  52 mph is hauling the mail. Especially standing up in a center console.

All around performance should not be determined solely by top speed. Speed is fun: I've had a 200hp and a 150hp on a 20' seacraft and a 150hp on an 18' and have to respectfully disagree with most of these posts. I now run a 90hp on an 18' and wouldn't go back to a bigger motor. Cruising down a flat calm intracoastal at 30+mph is nice but I spend most of my time in the ocean and usually have to slow down to under 25mph. The hull just performs better with less weight on the transom.

Not sure anyone did, but I increased my cruise by 2mph, top end by 4 and my low end after last night droppped to 18/20 from 22/23 just by raising the motor - sounds like all systems go. The SeaCraft hull is not a semi-displacement, its a racing hull by nature, yes it will run with any power but they all like HP to perform at their best, their best being up on the high deadrise part of the hull at whatever speed.
Which means it needs HP. If you plow with them you are back running the lower deadrise at the outside of the hull, and defeating the purpose of the VDH - just say'in My other prop did that, and it was wet and pounded, never got up on top - different boat with the Stlletto, entirely
