Hi h2o,
On plane at 12 to 13mph, wow! I had my boat up to 45mph on the Nashua river yesterday evening by playing with the engine trim angle. It was interesting-I got it up to 38mph and just by playing with the trim I could move it up to 43mph so I added some throttle and was able to trim it up to 45mph. I am now satisfied with my prop, which came with the boat, and will have to seriously look into the hydofoil fin.
BTW, putershark, my boat is mostly in fresh water. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've had it in salt water this year. I wash it down with fresh water after every salt water excursion and run fresh water through the engine for about 10 minutes in my driveway. When I am not in my boat on the water, it is on the trailer in my driveway. I only mention that because I take the prop off at the beginning of each season and grease the shaft. It comes off easily and I have no corrosion on my boat anywhere-just a scum line from the dirty water in the Nashua river that I've never bothered to try and wash off.
