So, if there is a 5mph difference between 750 & 800, a boat with 700s should run 102mph? Can anyone clarify this?

Re: Gladiator Speeds
Friend rides with 6 blade Herrings on a staggered Glad and says he lost about 4 miles per hour when he went from 4 blades to 6 blades, but the 6 blade set up is much more civil. His high end is still above 105.

Re: Gladiator Speeds
JCPERF.......You say you have seen 108 with 6 blade herrings and 750's. Was that with a very light load?? What will it run on a daily basis w/ people and some fuel??
Also what pitch are those props? Sorry for so many questions. I have some 31 pitch 6 blade herrings but i don't know if i'll have to have them reworked or not. My boat will have 750 sterlings. Thanks in advance.
