[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 39184, member: 55"] I highly doubt you will have a noticeable difference with 1.5 inches on the rig you are running, and you would lose bite quite a bit more often, so it probably wouldn't be a worthwhile tradeoff. That 1.5 inches would play a major role in speed on a 80+ mph glass rig, but at the speeds you are running, 1.5 inches doesn't play that major of a role. Now, as far as your prop goes, that may be where you gain some speed. Measure your RPMs in some way (Tiny Tach - 40 bucks) and you can determine if you are underpropped. If you indeed have a high thrust lower unit, a 13 is probably a bit light, especially seeing that you have it on such a light boat. [/QUOTE]
