Busy weekend. Underskinning and gauges

Well i just got back from a water test. Huge improvement in ride and noise. It feels like a new boat in that aspect. Speed wise-I didn't gain an ounce. Same 30mph gps as i had last time. The noise reduction and ride improvement are worth it to me though, so i'm satisfied.

The ramp was empty so i decided to take off my 13.5x15 prop to try my 13.25x17. The 13.5x15 was turning about 5600rpm at 30mph. The 13.25x17 was turning 5200rpm at 29mph. Looks like the 13.5x15 is my best prop all around.

Are there any other props i need to consider? These props are just aluminum Solas Amita's, nothing special.

Glad to hear the test went well. I don't know too much about props except that stainless steel is better than aluminum. But 30 mph with a 90hp on a 20 footer is pretty damn good.

I'm pretty pleased with how the boat is performing. When i bought the boat this time last year it was doing about 22-23mph until i cleaned to toons and did some other stuff, so i've gained a good amount. I've heard that stainless props are better as well on 115-150hp and up motors. I'm just not sure if i would gain anything on my current set up with one?
