Re: 30hp etec prop opinions

I hadn’t even thought of that, good point with planing vs top speed. I have my motor set with the ventilation plate about 1" above the bottom of the boat. I’ve set most my motors up this way and it seems to give an extra 2-3 MPH once up on plane. You think this would help avoid the extra drag off a hydrofoil that you are talking about?

I also checked my prop – it is a 10.3 x 12. So switching over to a SST 14 or 15 pitch, I would think, will make a pretty noticeable difference in speed? I top out at 27-28MPH, going 31-33 would be a pretty big difference!
