With your prop and set up, maybe the pp's helped you. I do have the talons, I run a 27 bravo, at 68-69 it really wants to chine. I also tried a 26 fury and had same results. Sure I could not trim up as much and run wot, but then I'm not getting full performance. After watching Ryan drive it, he sure made it look easy at just under 72, he thinks I could get more out of it with a 3 blade. I'll prolly leave it cause like you said 70 is plenty fast
