Love that green. Sweet Pickle. Looking sharp.

Steve, if you ever want to boat or test props at White Bear Lake, let me know. I have a Mercury Quicksilver 2-blade bronze 22" prop that might work on your boat or Gregg's boat.

(David) the 22p I wouldn't  mind trying. I still need to get a tach, I think tomorrow I may go down to Twin City Outboard and find me a tach. I have a feeling if I did all the little tricks like raising the motor and finding the right prop she might be really close to 60mph.  57.3mph is my best with stock set up on GPS and that's with the motor sitting on the transom, not raised at all. 
 
Anyone wanna race while towing their boat, I have surprised a lot of people with the Trailblazer.

Might run into some steering cable problems if you lift it ...
Angle get pretty steep on transom mount and tilt tube set up bends cable in an " S " ...
Might not be a problem if you only go one or two holes.

I've been thinking about going up to the last hole, and shake the "3/4 Fast" nick name .. LOL
If we do a WBL prop day, I would like to try your Rapture ... If that's OK with you.

Not a problem Greg.  I've tried the laser ll 20, 21, 22p and didn't like any of them. I still have my sleeper 21pQss that rips but I'm over revving with it. It's faster than the Rapture but has more blow out in the corners.

A 21P will most likely be over revin' my lower max rpm's (5250 rpm red line).
Dave's 2 blade bronze might work on your CV, the 2BB I tried ran pretty good, but over revved my motor ...

Wish I had not sold this prop without trying it on a Mercury - 22" pitch Chopper.

Picture of my 22" Hi-performance 2-blade bronze Mercury Quicksilver - for sale at $200.
