No such thing as too much power!

On a more serious note. 2 blade or 3 blade on this beast and what diameter/pitch are you starting at?
The 666 on your Sid is no big stretch: Check out this 13' Andrews with a 2.5 Merc! It has yet to be lake tested, but may be the worlds most powerful kneeler ever built.... The unmistakeable work of Dixon Smith. How'd you like to pull the trigger on that???
Anyway, the 666 is expected to make similar power/RPM to my OMC 850/FE engines. The first prop to be tested will be a DeWald 4-blade cleaver 8" Dia. X 13" Pitch. Adjustments will be made from there.

BTW: Last night at 8PM the driveshaft was fitted and the boat cleaned just in time for Suter's.
