    That little bit of back cut should help a little too, you might want to put a little more in it. I'm trying to remember what style of back cut they call that...

    Thanks! I'll check into that prop. Cant hurt to try it.

    Edit: I see the 1816 is 1.6 pitch....same as I have now. ...is it just a much better prop? Or maybe go with the 1.8 pitch version?

    Thanks. I'm pretty stoked but I know she's got more in her. I'm really wanting to try a neu 1521 tho. I think it'll be a little fast on 6s. Here some pics of the two props. You can clearly tell the m645 is thicker too....

    I'm sorry guys, I got ahead of myself. I forgot to show what it did on 6s, still pretty fast. I just got so excited about the 80.6 on 7s I forgot how good it did on 6s.....Prather prop. May have went a touch faster with the m645

    Not too much. I'll post a pic of it tell me what you think.
