Huge!

I started with an aluminum on the new motor which gave me what I needed to know to get the right stainless. I now have a spare prop on board.
Great news on the tilt working.

Great news, it never hurts to have a spare prop. I have an aluminum one also.

My motor was installed, but my dealer ordered a 11.6x12 prop. I put the boat in the water and used that prop for the first 3 hour break in period. I'll definitely need to change props to the 11.75 x 14 (TomW1 was correct) as the rev limiter was coming on at 30 mph. I still had a little throttle left, but could not push it any further. I found an aluminum 11.6x14 that will be in before Friday. Will test it again then. Overall, the boat rides great. It turns well and is stable. It is a weight sensitive boat since it is so narrow, but this was expected. Three people on one side of the boat is a no go when drifting. Once underway, people can move about the boat with no issues. There is no bow lift. It pretty much rides at the same level throughout the speed ranges. I didn't test it any anything other than crossing boat wakes yet. It slices through the wakes with ease and doesn't pound at any speeds. It planes at 15 mph. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the way it performs. I was worried about the self bailing aspect and even with two people standing in the back of the boat, water still does not come in the scuppers. I think the lightweight Suzuki helps with that. I thought I was going to need some rubber plugs on the inside to not let water in, but I don't think I need them. Pics to follow.
