We are on the James river out of Richmond, I do go down to Hampton a few times a year. I want to go to more places that was the purpose of getting a bigger boat, so we could stay the weekend out boating. Any good places, I like to explore and meet people.

Congrats Excursion,
What Thunderstruck said is almost exaclty as I run mine except in moderate rough water I'll run the tabs at 4 and the drives at 3 or 4. I can run hi 70's like this. When its relativley flat I and wot, I run the drives at 7 and totally tuck the tabs all the way up. I went to 30 lab finished props and saw about the same speed as I did with the 28's however I wasn't up against the rev limiters. Now after the rebuild the 30 labs are running right up to the rev limit. I'm showing 87 mph on the gaffrig speedo. Haven't gps'd it yet but my gaffrig has always been real close. I may try some 31 labs this summer. That is if I haven't sold or traded my boat.
BTW mine is still for sale if any is interested.

I have a chance to try some 29 labbed props this weekend so I will let you know what happens next week. I spoke with you about your boat maybe two months ago. Thanks for all the info on Thunders.
