Hello, I have a Leader 805 with a Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI with 320 hp. I reach 4.600 rpm with WOT, clean bottom and two persons onboard.
I feel that I want the boat to accelerate better and to do that I am thinking of changing my current Volvo Penta F5 duoprop set to a smaller F4 or F3 set. This would give a smaller pitch which should improve acceleration and also give some more rpm at WOT.
I am very interested in what propeller Size you are running and if you think I should go for an F4 or even F3 propeller Size. Propellers are stainless steel.
