I've got a Lowe 1655 with a 60/40 Jet. I'm showing a WOT of 4800 on the tach which seems on the low side. I'm getting around 24-26 MPH which also seems a bit low. River was way up and moving fast last weekend and I got it up to 28.5 downstream, but still never turned more than 4800. Does this...

I bought this tin as a second boat to fish places I dare to take my Xpress. As usual I can't leave well enough alone. It's an ongoing project and I will update as I go along. One of the previous owners painted the entire boat (didn't miss anything) Green. I'm not a big fan of green...

15 ft Aluminum Flat Bottom (Yazoo), what would be a good prop to put on it? I've never run the boat and the Nissan prop (11.25 pitch) is destroyed. Would a 10x11 Stainless be in the ballpark? -Chris

I'm looking for advice on propellers. I've got a Triton VT-17 with a 60 Merc 4 Stroke. The current prop is a Stiletto 10.5 x 13. It's running around 5200@WOT which is low. I'm not sure going to a 12 pitch is going to be enough. Anyone have any experiance with that Combo? -Chris
