[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 223861, member: 4585"] Fish2keel, I did NOT get the Spitfire. I ended up getting a Solas Amita 3. in a 12 pitch. I went from a 11" diameter 14 pitch to an 11.4" diameter 12 pitch. Bigger blades with lower pitch! Same WOT speed with an unbelievable difference in holeshot and exceleration. Time to plane is now instant whether I have 1 person and no load or 3 adults cooler and pulling a tube. Plus the Solas was only $70.00 Bucks. The Merc Spitfire is in the hundreds. I was originally trying to get both; better time to plane, and higher top speed but I guess that is impossible? Its either one or the other. With your 1648 you should try the Solas Amita 3 in a 15 pitch! [/QUOTE]
