You gonna keep the Tramp on the back of the boat?

I haven't taking it off yet. I heard it was "bad Luck" to change the name. Most people get a laugh about it.

I hear yah on the luck thing. When I bought my 1982 26 Nova, I pulled the teak floor over the fuel tank out and refinished it. When I pulled it out, my buddy next to me shouts out "Check it out free money!" There was a quarter and a penny with 1982 dates taped to the top of the tank. 26 cents from 1982 in my 1982 26 Nova, I left it right there. And to be honest with you, its been the best boat I've ever owned.

Does anyone have a good start for a set of props?

Are you going to try and spin 6000 as your peak RPM? For a comparison, I am turning 23 pitch Mirage's to about 5300 with 500HP (estimated). I would think starting with 25 pitch Mirages and possibly labbing them to bring up RPM if you needed to. As another data point, with a clean bottom I am only getting about 8-10% slip.
