reason for smaller prop is more slip = less pressure on drive

I would think you may be worrying about a problem that may never show up. I had a 2001 26' Daytona with an
XR drive and a Procharged 540, that made 1125HP on dyno @6300 RPM's. I never tore up a drive, because I didn't abuse it. It came up on plane easily @ 1/3 throttle and could call on it anytime without leaning real hard. That boat ran well. I sold and purchased a 30' Daytona and built two 800HP 622 cubic inch BBC using IMCO SC drives which run XR internals. Broke one propshaft so far, but the previous owner had 875HP motors in it so the shaft may have been already weak.

Yup i have a 27 with a whipple 8.3 on it huge tq and hp north of 1100hp never a drive problem. I dont air the boat and take off easy.
