Default Mistress Prop Rotation

Is there anyone who is running a mistress or even an old flat deck with the props turned out?? I was wondering how much speed I would loose. Docking kind of sucks with them turned in. I am running the TRS Setup Currently.

Thanks in advance

My brother turns his in on his mistress. But used to turn them out years ago. I'll ask him when I see him how much he gained by turning them in.

I doubt you would lose 3 mph with that hull. My '86 flat deck might have lost 1 mph turning out. 572ci with #3SSM Drives. The handling was certainly worth it for me!
