Could just be the guage off 100 also ...

WOT was 5300 rpm on one prop and 5200 rpm on the othe prop. I think this set of props need some work. Boat was doing 80.2mph. I think there is alot more to be had with the right set of props. Still trying I'll keep you updated!!!!

Well I've think I've come to the conclusion. That for the money the shorties cost and the little gains I've seen. It better to stay with your standard lenght drive. I think I'm going to take the shorties off the Cafe and sell them. Anyone interested????
