ttt. Boat is at marina SVS will be on. Now I just have to make it to the run.

Last year I was running a 27 OT and could only get 6400/6500 rpms. New prop is a 26 OT that leaves much better (PVS holes less pitch) Havent had good water to turn it up but its touched 80 at about 6300rpms. If I can get to the limiter I should have the same speed and MUCH better accel
