Ok. So as most have gathered by now...I have an unhealthy (for my bank balance at least) obsession with props.
I wasn’t going to bore you again, but can’t help it.
I bought yet another enertia of 20” for my big gearcase mariner merc 115 CT (new model 2.1) on the 19ft cuddy.
delighted to say I’ve nailed it and literally it doesn’t get any better.
An incredible 44 mph gps @5900 rpm out of this rig is amazing. I think that’s about 6 % slip last I looked. Not bad for a deep v fairly heavy but fast hull. Trimmed out to the edge of bravery and skipping along a following chop. Not far off the limiter for the engine.
now manages a really efficient cruising speed too.
just glad she is off the limiter now, from the previous 19” tempest + and enertia 19”. What a set up I have now. That’s me finished messing with props....with that boat, at least !!
