How are you doing Mike, Boat is doing fine. I put the 28 et prop on my brothers boat (xtb 21) and it has an unbelievable holeshot. I was told to try an drag 4 prop, but I'm learing about the 4 blades never ran them much.
I beleive the jackplate is hindering the holeshot a little by the way it scoops the water in the back. I was going to put an cover/plate on it but theway it is made i don't see how i could make a skidplate bolt up/ and the angle the jack plate is on the bottom.
anyway what is your best price on the prop, and do you have a paypal account #.
PS I uped the compression on the motor to 145lbs, and on my other sportmaster lu i opened the exhaust, May go and try out this week and also do a little fishing if i can get a kitchen pass from the ol'lady.
let me know on the prop and I plan on doing alot of thinking over the next few days, and try to figure if i want the hoss or the drag 4. Mike good talking to you, I have not had a regret one about the purchase of the boat. Its like a new one.
