When I had the BF50 I put a 4-blade Honda prop on and was quite happy with it, getting 8 mph ballasted and 16 or 17 unballasted. No singing. I forget the actual pitch and diameter but I can look it up for you if you like. I had to search and find this thread, hoping the links to the Tacoma propello...

We have 26X Anchor rollers, 26M Anchor rollers, and new longer 26M Anchor rollers to better fit plow anchors. And, yes we have enough rub rail that I may have to :) put them in my will....so please buy rub rail! Cheryl I would like to buy some for our 1996 X... also need those "end caps" ...

I just built a permanent lift with 6x6 posts 4 ft in the ground

Cost about $300 Use it on multiple boats and exceeds the weight limit of this portable...I can lift 5000lbs +

I bought a boston whaler the other week off craigslist with a 40hp tohatsu..
It had a pair of smart tabs on the back (trim tabs)

dave

you're like 4 hours from me mate

I do good work

Particularly where you would mount the posts I'd like to see..
