Well, in fact no, I don't want to spend several hundred for an extra 4 MPH.
However, I think the ideal conditions mentioned are with their stock
configuration; perhaps there's another config that will exceed that figure.
Maybe it's 8 mph. Myself, I don't know, and that's why I'm asking, to see
what's possible, and then I can make an informed choice.

Thanks,

Jim

I have a Nitro 882nx DC with a Merc OptiMax, and I am beginning to
wonder
if
I can get a bit better performance with a different prop.

Currently runs about 60 in good water with the bow trimmed up, but
Nitro's
literature suggests 64-65 can be expected.

Ya'll know where to start looking for information regarding propping out
a
boat properly?

Do you really want to spend several hundred dollars for an extra 4mph? As
Bob mentioned, I'm betting 64mph is under _ideal_ conditions.
