    Prop Performance.

    I had my Mercury Lab 28P Promax worked/fixed by Mark Croxton and went from 77mph on the limiter to 86 at 6200/6300 rpm. This is with a Stroker/300xs/1.75 Sporty solo going fishing. It prob had more in it but I ran out of lake. I need to change the gear case to the 1.62's and play some more.

    I need to top mine out to see what it will do. It kinda acts dead when I hit 80 but the only times I’ve ran it to 80 I’ve had two guys, gear, full live well, and a out of balanced boat. The guy that fishes with me is 300 lbs along with 3 trolling motor batteries on his side. I bought a 26p bravo to play with that I’ll need to get worked soon

    Very good gains. I have seen a 3+ mph gain with a little prop work.

    I've changed cases to the 1.62 but the wind has been blowing. I am very curious to see how it runs.
