I've been working on dialing in my 39 with Arnesson's over the past few weeks. I tried out my backup props I bought this summer for the first time on Tuesday night and gained 20 mph at 5K RPM's. The Arnesson's are proving to be the real deal thus far. I'll post some videos when I figure out how to post to youtube.[ATTACH=CONFIG]561048[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561049[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561050[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561051[/ATTACH]

She likes the drives just fine. Determining the correct prop size is the trick. I literally gained 20mph by going from 18x34's to 17.5x40's. After that gain, not sure if I should go back to a 18x40??

Brent, video's look awesome, you did a great job with your boat! What have you seen top end and cruising speeds? Like your valve covers, will have the same soon. Any trouble getting on plane with the 17.5 compared to the 18inch?

Locked up the motor when a crank failed in Nashville, trashed the engine with 15-20 hrs on it. Back to rebuilding and winter time stuff. Maybe next year....

As for getting on plane with the smaller props, that was my biggest concern, but it seemed to be the same. I hope Mark can help with the take off power band. I have to play with the throttle between 2400 to 2800 RPM until the props break loose a bit to get the RPM up, and then it grabs.. And you better be holding on to something.
Hunting season is officially started for me so test and tune will be put on hold for a couple of months. FYI, the Tickfaw 200 is only 6 months away.... JS
