The only way that 38 could swing a 35P is with high slip numbers due to the high drive height. That is what stresses the props. Has anyone tried spacing down to lower slip then run a lower pitch prop ? May cost a couple mph top speed but the boat would plane and handle better and quit throwing blades. |
