    Here's what I know. Boats are REALLY stupid and don't get math. If I run a high number on the GPS, my slip is "good", if I run slow my slip is "bad".

    I could care less if I had 20% slip if I put up a big number. Too many people are trying to be scientists and make this stuff more complex than it is.

    Read John Tiger's post and Helmut's from page one. That's the whole deal right there.

    That's the thing. If the prop hasn't been blueprinted dead nuts perfect to it's advertised pitch, it's just a guess anyway.

    Unless the blades are flat like cutting a tin can the pitch varies across the blade so which formula do you use to get a pitch number?
    Then there is some cup just to add to the confusion.

    It all happens at the blade tips. This is where a prop can "cheat" at the slip numbers game.

    The guy driving the boat can also blow up the slip numbers. When you lay into a fast boat with some patience and finesse you can tell that its hooked up and pulling well. If you just stab the throttle and point its usually a disappointing pass.
