[QUOTE="Skiffing, post: 396206, member: 15889"] Update I just put on a Turning Point 14 X13 cupped prop. I used a Flo-Torq III hub. Replaced the thrust plate also. There is a remarkable improvement.... 1. Shifting into gear is smoooooth ... no clunk, no rattle. 2. Gained over 200 RPM. @ WOT throttle it's doing better than 5600 RPM. It's now "in specification" 3. Hole shot is much better. It get's up on plane in less than 10 seconds and top RPM in several seconds more. 4. Top speed is a little better - 29 mph averaged at best trim / no ventilation. I think that's pretty good for a 15 year old 40 HP pushing > 1,200 pounds of boat, gear and people! We did 40 miles today. Much of it at cruise / 23 mph 4900 RPM in light chop. Filled the tank.... looks like > 8 miles per gallon. If weather holds tomorrow we're going to do a trip down the back side of Plum Island. Saw bait there today - but too late to pursue and threat of T Boomers. FWIW - The Quicksilver SS Vengeance 14 X 12 w/ pressed hub 15 spline is in the classifieds at a really good price [what I paid] [/QUOTE]
