Took our boat out for the first time this weekend. Rode really well. Scared the kids a bit with some turns on plane. I love the way this boat cuts into the turns. Way more aggressive than the glastron we had.
FG3 any news on the prop? As we are in our first 10 hours of break in I only had it up to ~3000 rpm and 30 mph.

Glad to hear you got the boat out! I agree that handling is a blast!
Regarding the prop, I ordered a 19P High Five - should be arriving tomorrow.
Was your speed based on the speedometer or GPS? Also what pitch is your prop and what drive ratio leg do you have? The reason I ask is because with a 19P prop and a 1.81 leg, 3000 RPM and 30MPH is < 0% slip, which is impossible. I'm at 20% slip all out with my 19P Black Max prop (meaning at 4800 RPM, I'm hitting 80% of the 47.7MPH indicated in the chart below).
See the spreadsheet I put together below for theoretical max speeds at various RPMs:
