Havasu cig,

What props were you running with both gear ratio set-ups?

Default PROPS/GEAR RATIO

I WOULD GO TO THE 1.5 AND LET'S WORK THE PROPS FOR HOLE SHOT,SIMPLE.

AS WELL YOUR MIDRANGE ACCLERATION WILL BE BETTER.

An outboard powered boat is totally different when it comes to getting on plane due to lack of toque. With the higher pitch props if they do not break loose the boat will not plane. I tried a set of bravos 4 blades34s in place of my normal 3bl 34 cleavers and I could not plane off unless I trimmed way up to break the props loose. The cleavers come up quick. Thanks Throttle Up for all the help
