Although some 4B props for bass boats are optimized for WOT speed with a lot of bow lift, an offshore-style 4B prop will give you more stern lift and allow lower planing speeds

I found a nice twin Armstrong bracket for 500 clams but I will have to section it and narrow
it 4 inches per side. I was also thinking of adding 2 inches to the bottom of the tub
and mounting it 2 inches higher. Still good for diving, but it`ll give me more height
for the props.
