Brett, Is less than 10% slip actually possible on a straight bottom V-hull?

Possible yes, likely no. Baja's usually run in the11-12% range when they are dialed in. People may say otherwise but ussually there is a missing link in the equation that brings the slip over 10% when you look at it closely. Under 10% is often on a given day with light loads and perfect water.

High slip numbers can mean the best top end speeds on straight V's so, slip isn't always the enemy.

bajabob, I believe you have those numbers. Some do! Most don't.

You will need about 2 more inches of pitch depending on the desired rpm levels for WOT.

We have test propellers when you are ready.
