Hey thanks , I have a couple 440 props so I will put on one when the boat comes in tomorrow. I read through a good bit of the 135 pages . It turns in to more bickering between members than actual talk about the vee 27 !!! Anyways , I bought the boat to run in my pond at my house b/c my wife complains about the noise from the nitros and gas boats !! She says it gets annoying listening for hours of the bzzzzzbzzzzzzzz . Thanks for the input !!
