Would love to post more photos, but (pardon the poor grammar) what you see is what I got.

That's impressive! I don't know if the 400's would do any better?

Nasty these are the props. They were bought, reconditioned and the barrels reduced. These are also the wheels that ran on the 300xs test in the SBI Marathon race comparing the 300xs to the 280ros. The numbers are stamped on the props in the pics

Thanx very much Todd, My rig didn't run well with any 4 blade that Merc had to offer. Im gonna try some herrings in the spring. Sounds like these are the ticket but my rig is noticeably heavier than the DWs may not work for me. Ill talk to them about it. Thanx again. Steve
