Matt..the prop slip i am assuming is why its hard to get on plane? I assume the prop was blowing out trying to get on plane or was it the fact the motor bogged down?


Bogged down.

I kinda want to try your 19" average pitch cleaver now that I have more gear ratio options.

Matt, I have a number of props all in that size range. We could have a test day at Gulf Lake early in August if you want to meet. When Paul Hickey and I did the 55 Mariner twin on Brenden's Delta we used a 10 3/4 x 18 Mercury chopper. That boat ran 54-55 mph. It was a 1:84 gear case. Motor was bone stock. Six Mile boys likely remember it as it had 40 decals on it. Last I heard was that Delta had a 70 Yamaha short shaft on it. I think he drives an STV now so that Delta could be available. The Six Mile fellows would know the current state.
