[QUOTE="whorrall, post: 459208, member: 24168"] Thanks for the hospitality! I came over here from The Hull Truth. Lots of great people there, but not enough Jon Boaters. Appreciate the comments on my boat. It is my "forever boat." I ran a 75 for years before I upgraded to the 200. I did not anticipate the combination of boat and motor being this finicky. I've played with props, motor height, etc trying to get it right. It's close now. I'm running in the low 50's, but only at about 5100 RPM. This is with a 19P aluminum 3 blade prop. I added a jackplate, and I haven't gotten a chance to test it since adding that. I am hoping to gain a little RPM and speed. 5100 seems low. But I do not want to go down to a 17P if I can help it. I've been reading out stainless cupped props. Does anyone have any experience with those? I've had several people tell me that in order to get to 60, I'm going to need one. [/QUOTE]
