Default 48ec props

Hi all. I have recently completely refurbished my Fountain 48EC. I am the third owner and would like to know what kind of props the boat initially had. I have big difficulties to keep her on plane bellow 30s.

Gecof1,

I think you'll find that normal. We have a PQ280, and I can barely keep it on a plane, Tabs all the way down, drive tucked all the way under, running alongside a buddy in his pontoon, with him a WOT, @ ~26GPS (we did it once, just to see).

Thanks. Brad.

Maybe I missed it but what setup? We have good friends that had one and sold it a few years back, triple Yanmar boat with Arneson's on it What is your setup? Diesels or gas? Someone here should chime in.

I found this doing a search and test results.... seems to be roughly what may have been standard for the Yanmars.
