I think 600 is good. Scuffed but not leaving a rough surface.
Is it good a mirror like polish on a prop?

Sand enough to take the shine away. You want a flat, dull surface. I sand to remove the orange peel that you eventually see after beginning to sand.Comment

Thanks for the hull into, I always wet sand and polish after paint, so this will eliminate a step, at lease for the bottom lol.
When sanding the prop, does it make a difference which direction you sand in?Comment

Prop or hull finish has absolutely nothing to do with Bernouli! Surface finish effects the friction between the object and water - but wait, most of the front of the prop blade runs in air, not water. If you care about learning the fastest finish, by all means listen to the guys who never set a SAW record, they certainly know what's best.

This topic has been discussed many many times, and the OP could have used a search to find out - but he chose not to make the effort. Those here who really do have fast boats have posted their findings repeatedly but no longer do so because they are told they are wrong by the ill-informed...who then continue to spread bad info to new boaters. Frankly I got tired of all the BS posted about prop finish (Bernouli? Really?) hence my post. If you don't like it, then simply add me to your Ignore list instead of making yet one more post which adds absolutely nothing positive to anyone's understanding of the topic.

I was skeptical of the scuffing at first, hope you can enlighten me a little.Comment

If your sick of peoples stupid questions why waste your time trying to make everyone sound like an idiot if not to glorify your own knowledge? Seems to be a recurring theme on this forum, you enter, write some droll remark about how no one has any idea then exit without offering the correct information. Your talking about more useless posts not adding anything positive to the thread, yet your first post in it was exactly that, useless and belittling. Next time you don't feel like answering the same stupid questions Jay, how about rather than me add you to my ignore list, you just don't post unless its to help, or you tell the OP to use the search function rather than come across like an arrogant dick.

I did say (kinda) i did not say they were directly related... its an attract and repell thing wich they both have in common.... JKR asked a simple question and i gave an answer,,unlike you,, i know people that have plenty fast boats,,, guess what,, there prop isnt shiny....simple.....dont try to discredit me cause im new here... i know plenty... you do whatever you like to your prop JKR...just be sure its sharp... maybe fluid will tell you how he is the fastest in the nation.......... what do you think 6boost???? will fluid spill the greatest speed secret ever??????

jkr,, i watched your video above,, has your setup changed at all since then?? i noticed the hull starts to porpoise,,,your main goal should be to settle that boat down... beleive it or not.,,geez ill probably get shot for sayin this,,,but,,,if you have issues getting it to settle down try a 3 blade prop..it can help the porpoising on certain setups...many many very fine adjustments to the strut and rudder,,along with fins and tabs if you have them..explore the settings one piece at a time,,if you go changing everything at once you will risk never getting the proper setup...FOREVER IN DEBT TO THE GREAT "COD FISH" (JERRY WYSS),, WILL NEVER FORGET....Comment

camaroboy383.
The porpoising efect made because i am trying to make selfrightning without flud chamber.
The steps of the hull doesn't help me with the cg.I had to pull my lipos a bit back.
The next step is to put 2s 2p (14,8v) to get as lower cg as i can.Comment
