[QUOTE="Brian121804, post: 454554, member: 6026"] Got out a few times this weekend with the 9-7/8 x 10-1/2... With a light load I hit the rev limiter (6200 rpm) before wot, top speed is 26 mph (2 mph loss versus the 11-1/4 pitch). With my usual load (actually several lbs lighter than) I was right at 6100 rpm at wot, occasionally hitting the rev limiter, top speed is 26 mph (2 mph gain versus 11-1/4 pitch). I'm gonna leave the 10-1/2 on it, unless I know I'll be running light for several trips. I was quite surprised that less than an inch of pitch would result in a ~7-800 rpm change. [/QUOTE]
