I see the problem. You have the cup turning out, it should be an inward rotation. lol

I concur; albeit you may want to distributive your cup a little more than 20%.

Secondly, I notice it is a LH prop. Did the cup come from a lefty?

Rotate the cup 90 degrees counter clockwise. That should help pop it up on plane faster.

Hey Tim, spoke to you about a year or so ago, in regards to you guys developing another offshore style prop. Any updates on that?
