So I just switched my Seasport 2200 to a duoprop (AQ-290, now DP) with the 305CI AQ-211-A. Wow, what a difference. I expected a better hole shot, but wasnt' expecting how quiet, smooth, and most of all how much different the handling is. The whole boat seems to plane higher, it's almost like it's riding on a cushion.
Not knowing which props i'd need I started with a used set of C4's (I think). The boat now tops out at like 4200-4300 RPM with 2 guys and a half tank of fuel, where as with my single prop, it could go over 5000 (I'd only do it briefly).
Question: is this too much prop? Is it enough to be concerned about? When the boat is loaded, the RPM will limit out even lower, right?
thanks!
