Got my 1.62 sporty on the 300 hpdi. Max height I can go is +3.0.
I ran it today and the highest I could get was roughly + 1.5 before running out of water psi.
I'm running a 30 B&B bravo with dual Pvs by mark. This prop was originally set up for my gambler. I took it and cut 3/8 off the barrel.
I noticed today that I was having to give it more positive trim to get it to run. I suspect that the prop will need to go back to mark for some tweaking for this Stroker. It may not have enough tip cup and have too much trailing edge cup. I dunno
I suspect that having to give it positive trim may have been what is causing my water psi to dip.
Nathan came out for a ride and he made excellent ballast!

He balanced the boat out perfect! But all I could muster was 5700@89 at 1 7/8 above the pad. Now this was loaded down. All my gear, 30 gal of gas 2 people etc.
What you guys think?
I have a 29 hydro I'd like to run but it has the 1 in holes instead of the dual setup how will it come out compared to the dual setup?
On another note the 1.62's reall hurt the holeshot quite a bit. It isn't too bad bit it isn't great as it was with the 1.75's
