Bass Boats/Props -

This weekend's tournament was held on Toho, on the Kissimmee chain of lakes.

It's a looong run to the south end of Kissimmee, from the city park on Toho
where the tournament began.

The south end of Kissimmee is where the bass were caught.

I tried staying in Toho, and blanked.

That's why I'm trying to optimize my rig. Even if I am able to get a few
more MPH out of it, I understand that the 21 footers with the 250's and
300's are going to leave me in their wake; but it will extend my own range
and fishing time.

And, as I don't have a spare prop for my boat yet anyway, why not try to
find one that gives a bit more 'oomph' while I'm at it?

Why not just buy a Hydrofoil race boat instead?

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?

Thanks.

That's sound reasoning in my estimation. I would feel naked going without a
spare prop. I haven't had to use one yet, but it's nice to know it's there.
