I finally found and bought a 1976 Hydrostream Hustler. This huster is the twin hull design. The boat is rigged with a 1984 Johnson 40hp outboard on it with a power tilt and trim unit on the transom. I dont think that the prop on the motor is right because I can only see about 25-30mph with high 7000 rpm's. What would you recommed for a prop to bring down my rpm's and gain additional speed? I dont want to race this boat just something that should be a good all around cruising prop with lower rpm's. Thanks Justin
