posted 09-03-2006 03:25 PM ET (US)         I was inquiring about what prop I might change to to get this boat to work in the right RPM range a month or so ago and recieved much good input here at CW. And was asked to report my results when I made a decision, I went from the stock 11x15 on the 06 Honda 50 4 stroke to a michigan match 11 3/4x12 and it will plane out well with two persons aboard with a moderate gear load aboard,and has gone from 4200 RPM to 6000 RPM in good flat water hitting 32 MPH on the GPS and used about 1/2 of a 22 GAL tank of fuel on a run from Long Beach to Catalina Island,About a 52 mile round trip plus whatever cruising was done at the island. Thanks for the advice all. DWS.
