Gav, how much bow lift do you think you were getting???
is it the same prop we ran in Torbay?
don't forget lifting the engine up will reduce the amount of leverage you will get so if you haven't got much lift at present then you may find you will loose speed.
because you premix the oil 7K is about the limit you want to rev to but it should be happy with 6600-6800 for 5min bursts

getting good bowlift so would think raising will be ok. No the prop we ran in torbay was the 23 tempest, will try that again though now the motah is running sweet.

Thats flying dude!!!

It should withstand 7k for short bursts but If you want it to last I would stay around 6500.

we already have a rib upside down on top of Soultime so there is a bit of Space. Only Joking!

I't's very possible depending on how long irt would take. we have 5 boats in at the moment, but one is leaving in the new year!

Also it looks like I am gonna need a website built real quick (as i've reproritised by the guy that was gonna do it) and whover did that for me I'd owe big time

You better decide on a domain name, and come up with some ideas for what you want the site to look like then.
