OK, I am resurrecting this thread since I was able to move the motor up one hole. I gained 1 maybe 2 mph on top end but it was a little tough to tell as it is really really windy here today. So I am still running an aluminum 14.5x19 prop. I was getting 31.5 to 32 mph at 5200 rpm before I moved it up one hole. I now get 5500 rpm which is max for my motor. I did experience a little cavitation in turns going about 20 mph but nothing horrible. So any further suggestions? Stainless pro maybe? Different pitch? I was by myself with a light load. I usually run with myself and one other guy and medium load. Maybe I should just stay where I am at and be happy with the 33-33.5 mph that I got. Am I working the motor too hard. Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Tom
