[QUOTE="moedelawn, post: 503272, member: 26670"] Get the motor height set correctly before you buy a new prop. You would be amazed how much drag the hydrofoil can produce when it's submerged or tucked under. I had one on a boat I bought and it was like having brakes when I trimmed down too far. I pulled it off. If you don't need it to prevent porpoising or to plane off, try running it without it. I would suspect a few mph increase in top speed. [/QUOTE]
