The engine builder wants to know how to set up the 598. (cam, compression ect..) He's concerened about planning and top speed. Are you happy with how fast it planes out? He's asking for:

HORSEPOWER
PROP PITCH
GEAR RATIO
TOP SPEED

I told him as much as I could but I want to be accurate.
Thanks

She pops out of the hole better than most all of the freined's boats I have taken for a ride thus far........

Thanks guys. I want to tune the engine for big HP numbers but don't want to sacrafice low end torque for planing. It sound like it won't be an issue. If Krak pops out good with a 26, I don't think there's an concern.
