Steve, is this still for sale? I don't want to sound dumb but don't know jack about props. Denny has been working with me and were trying different props because we can't get my 1890 to stop purposing. We tried hi 5 then 23 and 21 pitch 3 blades. He said we should try a 4 blade next but did not have one for me to try out yet.

The 1890 usually comes stock with this prop. Give Denny a call, and see if he can get to Brandon to make sure that hull was wedged.

Last time I had 3 guys in my boat, one sat directly between the consoles, and that is the best that boat has ever driven. I'll be putting a couple hundred pounds of weight under the front deck for next year. No effect on top end, and the boat drove like a dream.

The 23P Tempest is too much for that boat. 21P would get your RPM's right at WOT, and hole shot would be really good. I got 60 @ 5200 RPM with that prop last summer. My 21P Rev 4 does 57 @ 5300. I still need to raise my motor a hole or two to help the torquing from that prop at moderate speeds.
