I’m going to try this two blade prop that came with the new boat (I know it probably won’t like it) but I’m going to try it because I have it. Took off: 3 Blade 12 x 15 Put on: 2 Blade 11.25 x 15 Boat is a 21’ D’Cucci and has around 650hp and 27% gears (too big IMO) I also have a set of 22%...

Yeah, tonight I will do "1" full turn and see where it lands to back up the "10" turn results - if 25's it will be easy to tell, I just ran out of time this morning before work.
