[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 493361, member: 7021"] As far as props, it may take trying/testing a few props to get it just right. You'll need to start with as close as you can calculate and go from there. If possible, boat should be fully loaded when testing. Will your selling dealer allow you to test a few used props? I had to purchase a second prop for my previous boat as the prop it came with would not get to max RPM when boat was fully loaded. Did the calcs and the second prop worked great. NOTE: It's important to be able to get to max RPM when fully loaded. Transom supports: I used these on my current previous boats. They are a great, well machined product. They are 1/4" thick and most OB mounting bolts are long enough to accommodate them. I've also used their SS bolt kits. I like that they include brass nylok brass/bronze nuts to prevent SS to SS galling. [URL='https://bobsmachine.com/product/transom-backing-plates/']Transom Backing Plates[/URL] [/QUOTE]
