that goes something like this;
How about a cruising prop. I haven't heard anyone comment on something like this. My engine seems to develop a lot of torque, and seems to run a very high cruise speed with a 25" prop. I seem to be able to cruise about 50 MPH at about 3000 RPM. Of course it kills the top end, only good for about 60 MPH @ 41-4200 RPM. But if you were trying to move your boat 100 miles or so, it might be interesting. It's definately out of the carb secendaries, your turning a lower engine speed so it should be kinder to the engine.
What do you think?
