Question about props

In article hthQc.90165$eM2.6306@attbi_s51, says...
You are correct Mike. For max top end speed you want to prop with a good
performance SS prop at about 300 rpms below max rated. This will give you
the best top speed but will hurt your hole shot some.

Thank you much for clearing that up for me.

Would it be too much to hope that engine makers have charts available
that would indicate what can be expected from a particular engine/prop
(pitch) combination or is it a matter of asking the right people?

I have every intention of having a boat and having it in the water by
May 2005 at the latest. I've got a short list of requirements I want for
the 1 - the ideal boat 2- the practical ideal boat 3- the totally
practical boat.

The one area I'm still fuzzy on is the engine/prop relationship.
Unfortunately I haven't found much written material on the subject.
You've helped clear up quite a bit of that though.

Thanks
Mike
