Hopefully this weekend! Props are at cutting edge propellers in California. Last I talked to them they said they could add 1-1.5 pitch to them. They should have been put in the mail today (3 day select UPS) so if everything goes right I will have them for the weekend!

That's going to knock down the RPM's? What are your target RP{M's?

Really could have sworn it was you. Boat looked really similar and had slight rooster tails too. Wonder who it was.
