Hi
I am looking for advice on Re proping a HONDA 135 vtec it sits on a Phantom hulled rib 6 meterish

Although it goes quite well one thinks it could do better at present 5500 rev
gives 57 mph with a standard three blade ally prop
have spoken to numerous Honda dealers ect and the only response is well it goes alright dont it, and lots of urr umms well

You would think that you were asking for ther bank details

Hopefully some one out ther has the Knowledge

If its doing a true 57 with a 135 on a 6m rib i would tend to agree that's good

My guess is the Honda will rev to 6k flat out so you have another 500rpm to find. Prop down to gain some revs but not sure if the speed will increase!!

Yep i agree with 500 revs to use but it makes not a jot of difference to that top speed and thats the question is it slipige or what
I dont pretend to no a dam thing other than what i have red but i am a pratical minded chap and the sums just dont add up
