[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 419656, member: 15636"] [b]Nice numbers![/b] I ran them through my prop efficiency calculators (in Excel) and got 7.2% slip! FWIW, I gave you my performance with my 60hp Johnson and I too am getting SUPERB performance, also where slip is only ~7%. I highly doubt one could get better on a tin boat! ... I remain surprised :shock: that you got that good a result from a Solas prop, I always thought 'Solas' was a Nordic word or slang for [i]pure unadulterated crap[/i] :? ! Never, ever tested one worth buying ... :wink: [/QUOTE]
