100hp plate on the 406.
Ive only got 6% slip. Pretty efficient hull.

Was it scary in that small boat going that fast.
I don't 100% understand the prop slip thing.
Basically like a 6% traction loss yes?
can you get props with no slip?
What prop were you running on that boat?

Your propellers thrust isnt 100% 1-1 the hull and the prop and many factors contribute to "slippage" a transaction loss is a good way to describe it.
You will always have some slip- more blades and bigger diameters help this, but some slip is beneficial to acceleration and drive lifespan.
I was running a hydromotive 4 blade 27 6300RPM.

I gunna open up the bottom end on my stock 350 mag just to check the bearings out and everything. I got a set of roller tipped rockers around here somewhere I was thinking of throwing on for the hell of it. I was also thinking maybe take the heads apart and do alittle porting mainly just remove casting defects. What do you think?
