wow ! how much prop in the boat ? not worried about clean flow of air in and out with that much prop turbulence on the tip loosing efficiency causing vibration

Clean air flow is already diminished by a radiator, gas tank, 2 double seats, an engine, and a hull. Think of it like a tornado sucking air from 360 degrees around. Almost the entire bottom half of the prop is getting "dirty" air. The tips of the prop just trail anyways and you hardly get any push (ever tried the water trick? spray it with a hose and youll see the water fall a few inches down before it gets blown away, pretty neat actually lol) I know there are boats as far as 10" in with no problems, so we'll see LOL!

C1gator that's a 81 fleetwood brougham. I LOVE cadillacs, always have, but that has a 368 with variable displacement in it (60k orig miles) I don't think it could get out of it's own way on a boat lol. Ill definitely post up a thread when it gets going.
