Does your boat feel different now that you removed those 2 x 4 s Kamie?

Your #s sound about the same as mine. I am happy with mid 40s top speed because there are some low end and mid range properties that I like about my prop (Rebel) that I would probably lose if I squeeze out that last 5 mph at top end. My boat is not comfortable at all above 40 mph anyway.

Smoothing out that bottom paint is something I will get around to also. That has got to effect fuel economy.
