Then you can add an inch of pitch (-100) and add some cup (-50). Both can be done with your original props at a good prop shop. Talk to them. You might get the same results with a super cupping that would work at your top end. To me, if you're going slow enough at idle and don't want to go any faste...

Many years ago there was a boat in the mid-island area owned by my ex-brother-in-law and his partner called the Hound Dog. It had 3 engines back in the days of cheap fuel. Ran offshore on 2, trolled all day on the center one. The boat ended up in Montauk for a while as a charter boat. The one thing ...
