Awesome result, and great story about the installer - good for you sticking to your guns! I trust you'll go back and tell them that the boat performs absolutely perfectly? It would be fun to see their faces. Prop technology has improved greatly, and these installers are still stubbornly applying rules of thumb from 40 years ago. My guess is they'll probably think you don't understand how the boat is performing - maybe they're so used to poor acceleration, torque steer, and porpoising that they think it's supposed to be that way.

Glad it worked out so well for you - it'll help you enjoy your classic for many more years!
