Steve I talked to you a few months ago via email on this site. You suggested a 4+15 four blade prop. I can't go to the three because of the massive torgue I get. I realize it may be a little faster, but I'm a big guy 6-2 270 pound trades man an I have a hard time holding it straight. I'm hoping the 4 blade 15 pitch that you talked about and that I have heard from many other people fix my problem. Sure I could have gone to the 17 but I really like the hole shot I get currently out of my 15. Thank you again for responding to my question you are extremely helpful and very insightful. Also you are correct the fuel is centered in the front part of the boat. I think the cyclone 4+15 I have should do a great job. Thanks again I will post in early spring. If I need vent holes put into that prop is it something I can do myself I have access to a drill press it should just be a small 3/8 hole ?
