The hydraulic steering is sweet. Can't wait to solve the prop issue and really test drive it. Also, I need a few white caps to really see what she will do.
You need to see what the top RPM is. You should be able to reach manufacturers top RPM. If not, you need to change the prop to get there.
If you are slipping at take off, you can talk to a prop guy and get a little cup put on it instead of buying a new one.
I have a 14 X 19, 4 blade.
