Your getting 65mph on gps out of a 19 pitch @ 5500 ?
Yeah, what is that a slippage rate of 2% or so? Maybe the 19" of pitch is a bit conservative on that prop. 19.5" should allow 4% slippage which is still low. Unless my calcs are off. Definately spinning!

The $1000 price was from a guy I had do work in the past and when I picked up the cover/boat my boat was full of water and full of sand. I was mad as hell.
I would recommend using Top Gun and have 2 vents sewn in. Sunbrella will let the water seep through. A Top Gun cover will last 10yrs but will need a resew in 5yrs due to UV light. That is the only cover I would make and install on boats that sit outside and in the water. The material is breathable but will not allow water to seep through. I had a full cover and cockpit cover made for my boat. Also use it for a soft enclosure on my snowmobile trailer, the Top Gun fabric is from 1998 and is still in good shape and is always out in the elements, I've has to resew it twice and replace zippers twice but that is it.
Just how I would spend my money about $30 per foot to make

I would go over the windshield as to keep the the sun out. Sunbrella will leak and let the water in.
