28' Skater w/280 ros ss how FAST??
I know that there are a lot of variables in this question but I need just a general idea. The set up is going to be a 28 skater with twin 280 ros ss with no jacks. The transom is cut down for shorty's and the motors are bone stock. I am trying to figure out what props to order. I orderd a race hatch and plan on running it with the rear seat out most of the time. The boat was drilled for the motors to be 1 3/4 above the bottom. I did not want to run external pickups so I did not go any higher. I had the water ramps put into the bottom of the sponsons to help with water pressure. I was thinking about 15 x 32 or 15 x 34 lab cleavers. Thanks for any input.

Send your motors to Diamond Marine and buy some "Nice" props
