That was my fear too Tim with the bite, but Brett had a lot to say about it. I never filled out his sheets with the baseline
data. I’ll do it next summer.

That's a nice number.

My 26's B1 4 blades have always been pretty good for my boat and I'm 200hp less a side. You definitely need something bigger......

I think you’ve read into why I started the thread a little too far. I know the boat is more than capable of swinging some more pitch, it had 28s and -2s on it and ran good w less power. Thats really not the point. I have no need to squeeze everything out of it. I’d rather be easy on the drives w my 26s. I was just asking about the Mach wheels as some spares.

If you're making those numbers I would think you need a 30* at a minimum, No way my old power made that and I can spin 32's Box stock B1 4 blades in Havasu at 5600
