Hi guys. I have a 1980 Formula Thunderbird i traded this boat for a custom trailer i built. Im almost done rebuilbing the motor and drive. It doesent have a prop on it.I was wondering if someone could give me a pitch to start with? The boat will be used for fishing, tubing, cruising. The W.O.T. rpm max is 4200-4600 Its an 18`boat 92'' wide 2700 lbs. Dry weight. Not sure about the gear ratio. Its a mercruiser 260 with a pre alpha drive. I think its a 25-30 gal. gas tank thats in the bottom of the boat right in front of the motor so with a full tank of fuel its gonna be heavy in the back. Any ideas? Thanks, Jared
