Scandelus, where are you with your props situation? I have a freshly repowered 31ft. Scarab II 1983.
Twin 555ci /700 HP/ TRS 1.50 my problem is that this is a 400 HP increase and I don't really know where to start? I might be able to learn a little from you situations. Any information could be a plus!

I have twin 502's with some upgrades in the engines to 550 HP each with TRS drives, and I went from Mirage 25 pitch to Hydromotive 25 pitch. Great hole shot, at 5000 rpms I was at 73 mph with the trim tabs and drives still fully down. I am not sure how much more mph it will pick up with the trim tabs up, but it still had some more speed in it. I love the Hydros.
