Is that "neat" or what?

You may get a specific answer from someone on the board who has been there and done that, but I suggest that in lieu of that, you go to the Michigan Wheel web site (see link below) and get their analysis of the situation.

Best of boating,

I run a 18"X 17" on the FB. A friend with a cruiser version runs a 18"X18" This is with a Chrysler gas engine.The diesel would be different.

We have 28 Flybridge with the 200 HP Volvo diesel and a new hydraulic tranmission. We just this year replaced our prop with a 4 bladed, 20" x 18 pitch. We have found that we have gained approximately 20% more speed and much better handling. Good luck!!
