Looking good in black! 20" prop? Any top end rpm numbers yet?

Ok, I'm back home with the new jet engine and all I can say is WOW! I did start with a 20" and saw 42 knots at 5700 lightly loaded. Considering I had a 20" at the house I tried the 18.5 and got 42 knots at 5900. Considering my regular trips run pretty heavy I kept the 18.5 on to see how it goes. I'm not going to get all wrapped up on top speed as the motor will loosen up and I anticipate a few hundred more rpm. The real story is cruise speeds and an overall increase in fuel economy of about 25%+ across the board. Here is a shot with the tide at my back.

Here's one with the tide in my face.

The 10" set back and raised motor gave you 350rpms more than mine with the 20P. That 18.5 is the sweet spot....I ended up at 5850 today and still need to be up 1-2 holes.

I still have to jack my bracket up some so after break in I'll likely be back in the 20".
