Thanks for the reply. I understand that those are good numbers for that combination. I've never had to experiment with props much before. I just feel that I should be able to hit my max rpm's when wide open and trimmed out. Maybe I am wrong?? I'm not that terribly worried about top end speed, just want the right combination. I don't intend to run wide open all the time (I'd have a fast boat if I had that kind of money). I've just always been told that your prop should allow you to run to your max rpm's so you get the most out of your engine in all ranges. I loved the way this prop made it jump out of the hole and handled good except in the tightest turns, where they all blow out anyway. Maybe this is as close as I will get. I don't like the HI-5 because I have to watch it too closely to make sure I'm not going to over rev when I do open it up. If this as close as it gets, I'm fine with that, but I want to make sure everything is right before I start dropping $ on props.
