Jay, I put my prop on this weekend (turbo lightning 3-blade 23"). By the way, thanks for the promp service. I recieved my prop in three days. Anway, I am seriously considering the thought that this prop outperforms my 4-blade powertech to include the hole shot. I was truly satisfied. With this prop, I got what I was after..........I am now able to reach 6k RPMs at WOT. But I do have a question, this prop gave me the 200-250 extra RPMs that I needed. But my speed did not increase. I'm still at 60mph (gps). I kinda suspected that the additional RPMs might give me 1-2mph. My boat is an Xpress X19 with Yamaha four stroke 150. Currently running about 4" below pad. Should I go higher with the motor? I was told that my TRO4 powertech likes to run high, but the torque was getting too bad. Do these Turbo's like to run high also?
