Makes perfect sense...that was essentially what I was wondering about as to whether or not the hull might have that issue. I figured the tolerances would be really tight on that end.
Knowing that thought can be put to bed, so to speak, the only thing I can think of here would be to find a prop with better tip cupping, or have some tip cupping added to the current propeller. Not sure how well that would work with aluminum, but a steel prop would be able to be modified to make it work. Being the lower unit can handle a larger prop, more options are available for designs, but my gut says the pitch would be too high in those options. I'll do a bit of research to see what I can find out both on cupping an aluminum prop a bit, but also some options in steel.
