Thanks for the quick response! Glad to be amongst the whaler enlightened. The Honda site states top rpm and the gear ratop is 2.08x1...the current prop is 10.1 x 11 pitch 4 blade, but it was damaged when I bought it so I can't test that out...in regards to mounting the hull is a 1971 with the cut out transom. The "hanger" was mounted between a .5" and .75" above the transom. So basically "as low as you can go". : )
