Default Propeller Adjustments

I'm still relativity new to the serious go fast stuff.... The Boat a had prior to my 36 Nortech Cat was a 38 T/S Top Gun with 700 Zull's.... I have been playing around with different Props and I find it amazing that just a small change with Prop configuration, Diameter and or Pitch, makes a HUGE difference... I know this is important to all boats however the Cat seems much more sensitive to Prop adjustments then my V bottom... Anyone have any thoughts on this????

search my responses and you'll see quite a bit about about what throttle-up has done with me..... and note my signature below.

good luck ------- and remember, handling is just as, if not more, important as speed!
