Default 88 Wellcraft Antigua Prop Selection / Experience / Help

Well I made it to the boat last night before it got dark and changed
props.

The closest I could find locally to what I wanted was a 15.25 x 15
prop. Since it was getting dark and I'm docked an hour away in an
area I'm not familiar with I just did 2 quick test runs. I broke 4000
RPM's and not sure how much higher they would have went since they
were just short channel runs.

She gets on plane in a matter of seconds now. I notice a huge
difference, but today will be the big test. It's going to be nice all
day so my girlfriend and I are going to head over to Put-in-Bay. I
didn't get a chance to see what my fuel efficiency was so now I'll get
a chance to do so.
