Are you covering your speed by the gas gage or the speedometer???

Hi RLW,

This boat was an 1984 19' Galaxy bowrider with an 140 IO MerCruiser. I ran a power prop on it as we used it for cruising, skiing and tubing. In the best of lake water conditions and optimal trim, she'd do a little over 40 MPH.

My brother did once try out a speed prop, and got it up to 50 MPH.
All of the above was using readings from the stock speedometer and transom mounted pickup tube. Never checked it with GPS.

Thanks for the comment!
Terry
