[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 350182, member: 7376"] Assuming your readings were all correct, I'd drop back to a 20" 4 blade SS and try that. I personally like the 4 blade myself. Lets you run the motor shallower, hooks up in a chop better, more stern lift (generally...some 4 blades are build FOR bow lift on a bass boat), holds plane at a lower RPM, gets out of the hole better, smoother running, etc. The boat sliding, that's a function solely of the hull and not so much the prop or motor mounting. A 4 blade will sometimes help slightly but do not expect it to solve it. [/QUOTE]
