With all the recent discussion on Props and Engine Height I am interested in hearing about your setups and performance. Data to supply is engine height (which hole is it mounted in..the TOP hole is 1st and the Bottom hole is 4th), Bracketed or Not, Engine model and HP, Prop info including brand, diameter, pitch. When reporting performance designate your load and fuel consumption with RPM. What is your WOT RPM and what speed. Here is my data as a template.

Boat: 2000 23DVCC with Bracket
Engine: 2000 Yamaha OX66 225
Prop: SS Yamaha 14.25 x 19 pitch
Height: Hole #2
WOT: 5300 rpm @ 40mph trimmed out (prop cavitates a little to quick)
Load: 1/2 tank fuel with 2 guys and avg tackle
Fuel Consumption: Avg over the range about 2.1 mpg

2008 with F250 Yamaha
#2hole
19" Rev4 prop
Half tank fuel, ice, fishing gear, three guys, I get 50-51 mph on GPS hitting 6000 rpm. Thinking of going up one hole and trying next bigger size prop.
Average just over 3mpg at 4300 rpm.
