Here is my prop venting thread. I will try and be as "scientific" as I can.
So here is where I started:
-89 maxum 1700 deep V hull
-new floor and interior this year
-3/4+ tank of fuel
-New 3.0 Merc with about 25hrs
-14.5x19p aluminum prop
-Factory setting of 6* timing
-always run premium fuel 91 octane with no ethenol
Everything I've done or will do is with a very experienced mechanic on board who has about 20+ years experience working on boat motors.
WOT
Easily revved over 5k top recorded and held speed 33mph with a little bit of chop (~2-3") with a pretty strong current on the river. Hole shot was good with two people. With 4 pepple and gear (~850lbs) and a full tank of gas hole shot was OK.
