Looking good there for sure !

It's going to be a long time till the Ohio River settles down to provide debris free boating conditions.

What's the break-in recipe you plan on doing?

Awesome
How was the Ohio water conditions in regards to debris?
I ask as I'm planning a Cox Park to Madison lunch run this Friday morning in my 225X powered Prosport.
Weather forecast looks great, lower humidity, lower temp and sunny for Friday.

Thanks for the info. Think I'll run the sacrificial wheel (27 Trophy) and keep the good stuff on the shelf. I'll bring a spare as well. Get's awful sparse along the way to look for a tow home.

That is awesome information! That is a stiff 28" wheel compared to what I am seeing. I have two 28" props. The first is a factory ET and it turns 8100 @ 101mph. The second is a 28 Chopper that is cut to ET and turns 7950 @ 101. I have a factory 30p ET and it would only go 99 at 7400 rpm, so maybe it needs a little love. I am running 14" of setback, 15" mid, JSRE 260 with light flywheel. 45 lbs in the port side. Two group 29 batteries, two hydraulic pumps. 15 gallons of fuel. several fishing rods. I have gone 99 mph with a trolling motor, but have not pushed the envelope with the trolling motor mounted.

you might want to try the 28 I ran one on my xb2003 and didn't care for it because it turned to many rpms. not the same as other props
