Thanks for the opinion, unsolicited or not.
But I'm puzzled by your choice of words here. I would think you would
have said "the boat achieves hull speed *due, in large part, because*
of the size of the prop. no?

Sorry for the ambiguity. I meant under sail, the boat still achieves
hull speed easily with that prop hanging down. I had visions of us
losing a knot or so with that thing hanging down there like a sea anchor.
