So what would you do to get the slip lower?
Below is current setup and the numbers from this past weekend.

Boat = Ultra 26 Deckboat
Motor = 496HO
Gears = 1.5
RPM's = 5200
MPH = 65
Prop = 26 lab

Slip calculation = 24%

Singleton I run a 24p stock on my magic with your same set up. Mine rolls over nice even with 8 people and that's my usual load. Have you tried a 24p?

Not yet. The boat came with a 26 and I could not see 5K RPM with it, got the 26 lab and increased the RPM's but the slip is way to high. Might try a 24 next time out at the river.

Rev limiter is set at 5250 in a 496HO.
Based on conversation with Eric at Teague, the sweat spot is 4900 to 5000 rpm's
