Update to above - Tried two different SS props this year.

14x18 was not enough prop for the motor. Motor would hit the rev limiter (6000 rpm) at about 37 mph.

14x20 seems just about perfect with the exception of the fact that the prop tends to break loose with too much throttle at once or with boat trimmed out. Have to keep the nose down a little more than I would like to prevent sucking air. Can get to 39 mph consistently with nose down and a little bit of torque on the steering wheel. Can get past 40 while making a moderate right hand turn (not sure what that means). This was a used prop bought on ebay and I am wondering if it needs a little fine tuning to make it less prone to sucking air. Would like to trim up a bit more and get the torque off and get a few more MPH out of this prop. Any advice? I did try adjusting the tab on the cavitation plate and this slowed me down about 1 mph.
