Easing on plane AND minimize high speed prop surfacing. I have always eased on plane, but run in the rough lake Ontario snot - very difficult to get off the throttles quick enough in the snot when one side wiggles out of the water - much easier if we were running in predictable swells or flat water. Unfortunately, I burned through 3 XR style drives this summer -but they were IMCO - they were replaced with Teagues late in the year - that combined with me taking it a bit easier on rougher days - and my drive oil changes have been clean and green since. |

I have a 25' Daytona with a 572 NA motor 730hp and a Bravo XR spinning a 28p prop I see just under 100. I like to be able to ease it out of the hole. A big prop 30 + is going to be slow out of the hole but fast on the top end...

My old Daytona, anybody seen it, I was told it went to Michigan.
