Just finished last round of 'setup changes'.
Reversed prop rotation from turning out to turning in
Have now tried 5 different props
14.5 x 32 6300rpm 98mph, this was actually a bad prop
14.5 x 32, 2nd set, better, solved some problems
14.5 x 34, 5700rpm, 101mph, to much pitch (borrowed)
15 x 32, 5980rmp, 101mph, getting better (borrowed)
Moved motors up another 1/4 in.
15 x 32, 2nd set, labed, 6151rpm, 102.1mph
So far this is the fastest the boat has run.

prop rotation from turning out to turning in, we have moved the motors up 1/4 in, and we
went from a 14.5 x 32 to 15 x 32 props. I just ran briefly earlier today, and not very hard
due to both time constraints, and running out of river behind my house, here is what I
noticed. The props seem to cavitate a bit more when coming on plane from a standing
start; however, the boat seem to get on plane quicker. Once on plane, the boat seems to
‘pop’ earlier, and the acceleration is much better. The boat seems to ride a bit higher in
the water, and I did not notice any appreciable change in handling, other than the boat
seem to turn a little bit wider than before, and the porpoising started about 5 mph earlier,
, and stopped about 4 mph earlier. The boat, or actually the motors and props sound a bit
different, I hear them more pronounced than before, seemingly, a slight increase in pitch.

The run in link #129, 6022/[email protected], was out at TNT earlier this week. Two adult males and 40 gallons of fuel.
