hi mate,see if you can get a good prop guy to cut a bit of diameter out of it and trim some off the blades.
sounds like a 12inch d prop would suit you better.maybe even a 11.5?

I think I need the extra diameter, the 11.25 I tried before didn't work as well

If you search for John Peeters on Facebook, you'll see how a six straight Nationals Champion is OSY 400 flattens a bottom.

John's mother is my cousin.....His dad learned bottom flattening years ago!

My dad would keep my boat upside down, within 30 minutes of race time, and hit it with a "Stink Block" just before the race. As we found, coming from California where the are is dry, racing in humid climates caused our transoms to swell, and a 1/16 cold and would cost you a Nationals.

.125 inch lip (hook) in the last 1/8 of the bottom, will keep a boat from planing. I once told a guy how t glass his bottom with masking tape. He pulled the tape without sanding the bottom, the "LIP" where to masking tape was, kept the boat from planing,

Due to prop cavitation?

Is it due to cavitation??

I've got the BRP Etec 60 2 cyl on a semi/flat bottom aluminum War Eagle all welded boat. Cav plate is sitting around 1/2" or so above the bottom. I got my hands on a 13.5 X 23 old OMC drag over hub prop that belongs to one of my buddies. Ran 43 mph the other day. I want to try one of Ron's 12.5 X 22 semi cleavers over hub or thru. and see how it does. Gear ratio is 2.67 which is horrible but I don't think anything else can be done to it...yet.
