Why are you only running 1 pound of boost? Running five would still be conservative. Wick it up!

I think he figures that with only one lb. of boost, he can save a few bucks on gas and run 87.

Brad, it has more to do with prop size. There is no load on the props. I currently have 18-1/2" x 29 Rolla 4 blades. I think I am going to make it a ski boat now. New Rollas are out of my budget this year. If I made a change, I would switch to Mercury Prop shafts and put on Mercury props. Alot more affordable. I can switch everything over for about $10,000 which is alot cheaper than Rolla Props.
