Robert at Atomic Engine Service (where I'm buying the engine and prop)

You might consider paying some attention to this recommendation. This guy
realizes that you will be knocking on his door *first* if you're unhappy with
the final combo.




Catalina recommends 14x9 for the ORIGINAL M25 (21hp compared to 26hp for the
new
one)


Also likely a well-founded recommendation. About agrees with your engine
supplier.


The problem of this Concept is: Where'd the Extra HP go? If I'm turning
the same prop at the same rpm, what's the use of getting an extra 5 hp? I
believe I need at least another inch, which is why I'm bothered by
Robert's recommendation. I'm basically paying $10 for 5hp - I want to SEE
it!

It's just an inch, Lloyd. She won't even notice.
