I agree, should check the slip #'s and make sure he is not slipping too much on the top end, if so, custom prop work may be in order, these 26 cats are hard to prop.

Before I purchase I'm going to test a couple more props going to take the 28p and try a 30p the rpms were about 2600 and jumped to 3000 when it slipped just as nose dropped had to feather sticks a little for plane Johnson Brothers Marine at LOTO will let you take a test prop for free and keep it for a week so i will keep testing for a bit

What are your WOT RPM's?? I know it will slip coming on plane, sounds just like the AO, just before the nose drops, feather it back, let the nose drop, then get back into it, it should stick, then tell us the WOT trimmed out RPM, and we can go from there.
