In rough water 3-5's with 2 pesons she was a nightmare.
Only keept that boat a summer. Whats the deadrise? 18?
But I loved the big space and the enginehatch.

Let me know what you have on it now.

Ive got a 21 x 14 1/2 four blade turbo on my 460. My RPM is right at 4300. It takes some effort to get on plane with a full load, full tank , four people coolers full of beer , etc..... but it cruises real comfortable at 48.
If I drop to a 19 I can get to plane quicker and get the RPM up but Ill loose my top end. Its a viscious circle.
