Thanks Steve. So are you suggesting that a 10/10.5P maybe too extreme? I wish the 50 was an option, but I just graduated college and don't start at my new job until late September and most of those payments will most likely be getting appropriated to a wedding of mine and mortgage payments.

Also, commenting on the 4 blade, I didn't even consider it originally for some reason. I would think the increased "oompf" of 4 blades would help it plane out better at lower speeds. Do you think the 4-blade prop will sacrifice too much speed though? Obviously it will not be a speed demon if I have the boat loaded down like that though. I just want to try to narrow down my prop search before I start shelling out cash testing different props. I have been lucky in the past being able to find quite a few used ones at marinas though for about 1/2 the price.

I have big dreams of getting a newer Tuffy someday.
