    Would love to know what your cavitation plate distance is from the bottom boat and setback is on motor. Would love to try that prop out and see if it makes that difference in my boat lol. I worked with power tech on phone and seems like what I got from the best at the time.

    Fyi what u get from the factory is never the best prop for the boat and more than likely what's most economical for the company or dealer.

    Ok it looks like speed is good.

    How is it in the hole shot?
    Sluggish? Comparable to a 2 stroke?
