I let Darin know how the two props performed and told him I was needing another 2-300rpm's and hoping for a couple of mph over my old prop (Michigan Ballistic). Both were the same pitch.....I know Darin gets alot of good pub here and I wanted to give him some more! From what I have read and seen he deserves it! Thanks again Darin
I will post results soon!

Bad Habit ,
Thanks for posting I think the prop could use a little more cup in the right places
This will pull the r'sssss dn 200 and let you trim higher also it should lift the boat even higher reducing drag ,resulting in more top end .send the prop in for adjustments when you can .Pitching the prop up would in my opinoin slow the boat down.Thanks again for the Business and we will call you when the prop arrives,make sure you put a copy of this in the box to help guide me upon arrival.Thanks Darin >Houston PROPELLER

Bad Habit, I think the rule of thumb here is 1" of pitch equals 200 rpm's +/- depending if your adding pitch or subtracting pitch, so going up 2" would be a reduction of 400 rpm's i don't know where you are at now, But probably adding some cup to the prop will get it to hold as you trim out, I know i had the some of the same issues as you( Read my post above) and darin was able to "Nail" my props right on as to what i relayed to him that was going on, I am sure he will make it right, Jeff
