There is now way you seen 80+ with that prop and ratio, if so you turned your engine at almost 7 K ?!

Around 69-70 Mph @ 5600 ,with that prop and ratio .

What engines do you have ? Your slip# is bretty good !
But you need a bigger prop ?!

my twin discs are stamped 1.54 right on the tranny. My drives are 1.1. With Kammas you can change gear sets in the drive for overdrive or underdrive.

Surface drives give high slip numbers on most hulls other than extremely efficiant hulls. ie catamarans. People will argue that but I see it every other day. They do have their advantages though.

Keep the 17x29 4 blades and let us have a crack at them. I know we can improve the slip and speed numbers.
