That makes me feel better. Guy I bought it from said it topped out at 59; he must have misspoke and meant to say 49.

You made a good point about a 4 blade lifting the rear and flatting the ride. That should keep the wife happy. Based on the OP in that other thread, you didn't loose much top end using the Pro series 4 blade.

Do you know how does the rev limiter work on the F150?

maybe on the needle speedo. Always use GPS speeds.

it still lifts the boat very well but the bow isnt pointed as "high up". Its not a HUGE difference where your wife would ever know the difference. it wont change the ride of the boat. Its just the qualities of a 4 blade. The boat will still bounce when not trimmed right. Xpress hulls are light so they are sensitive to weight distribution and trim.

this wasnt a pro series 4 blade.they dont make it in a 4 blade. it was a performance series. different blade design. Hard prop to find. i ran across it at a local store and they pretty much gave it way so i took it. Stick with the "true" pro series

i think it stops you at 6200ish. dont go over 6000. anything above that is "over rev" and can be seen when plugged into a mechanic's computer. yamaha wont warranty some issues when over revs are shown

ETA: I cant stress this enough - you want your wife to not complain about the ride, get a glass bay boat. Mine complained every time we went in open water that was "rough" in the Xpress. She hasnt said a bad word about the new boat.
