I am running 1000+ hp in my 26' Daytona thru a merc xr ITS. 1.39 gears 32" prop 6250 top RPM gets me around 125 mph. That calc to about 8% slip.
If I was to run a 26" prop, all things being equal , I should see a tick over 100 mph, and that would be fine, I assume it should accelerate like a bat out of hell, I know it's heavy, like 4500-5000 lbs.
You think it would put more or less stress on the drive.
I would guess more, if I was to feel more seat of the pants push, it's got to be pushing all the parts harder.
Any experts care to chime in?
