Tyler Crockett told me that his old Velocity race boat ran best with a 3 " to 3 1/2" measurement with a 5 blade.
Like everyone else, I'm just wondering if there is anything to be gained by raising my drive height , or straightening the bottom and sharpening edges. Figured someone has done it before and could advise whether or not its worth the time and $.
Thanks,
