Hello, i gain only 1mph with the shortys. From 72 to 73mph.
I can only plain with 4 blade Props, 3 blade don't work.
The bullet are longer, that slows me down with my only 73mph.
Than I changed programming and ending at 79.8mph gps.

shortys looking better and handles better.
The boat drives straighter through the waves.
There is no need to trim down, no wiping.

Propshaft centerline I will look and masher.
