Ditto for me on the 32 MPH. Mercury two stroke. i also have a "whale tail" on mine to get out of the hole quicker. i think Jeff Hanson does also. I have the same prop that Jeff has, too. i think that's the only one that really works for that rig.
The formula for the max HP on that boat as a hand tiller needs to be changed, it probably needs to be changed for others also.

There are several options for the prop that run the boat well depending on whether one wants best top end, heavy load performance, hole shot and big water performance, etc.
The formula for the horsepower tiller rating is not up to the builder, it's a US Coast Guard formula based upon seating and visibility to the front for the driver due to seat pacement, etc, the fact a tiller can be turned on a dime (Much faster than with a wheel), weight distribution, etc, and is unfortunately not going to change. |
