I am now running A4s. And for the first time in 1.5 years, the boat is running better then ever before. I thought I needed to go up to A5s since I could hit 27 knots with my KAD42 - 230 HP, but it turns out that even with 3/4 tank in the bay and bait tank full, when I get outside the bay in any chop, 3 people, 100 lbs of ice and all our gear, the A4s are the limit almost at about 20-22 knots with no heat issues and able to hit WOT. Any chop at all, and I don't want to go over 22-23 knots, even though it will.
Need to return the A3s to Phil, and got like sets of B3,4,5s I think to sell now.
