Hey James! Great to hear from you. I'll take that as a huge compliment coning from the looks of your classic 15! I know that prop has too much bow lift but I don't run it opened up very much. However, it would be interesting to see what is possible to improve the high speed handling. I was wondering your thoughts on the 15 spline small hub Yamaha props? They look pretty nice but I'm unfamiliar. I'll keep working on it though. Miami, your Dauntless is heavier and that POWERTECH is probably an SCD-3, stands for semi-cleaver. The Laser II will dig a little hole coming up and doesn't do well at low planing speeds, but at higher planing speeds it seems to settle in and do well. It does like being at the top of the water. I think they do make a 19 pitch, but it has the newer flo-torque hub. Powertech and Prop Gods are the place to go for great advice and I wouldn't hesitate to get in touch with Tom Clark on this site as well. The classic 15' hull weight is right around 550-580 lbs. But the bottom design also is different. Keep in touch!
