    what is the facts on 2 props having the same total pitch? I am thinking of trying an X640 just slightly overall more pitch then the 215. I was thinking the smaller diameter bight help with tork roll, or well the adverse be true as the prop will be pushing harder sideways?

      I believe that a smaller diameter and more pitch decreases torque roll myself. Dont know if its ever been scientifically proven either way, but I'd rather run an x640 on a 30" hull(example) than an x445. On the Spartan you may get away with a bit more diameter, im not certain as I dont have one...........they seem pretty squirelly to me though.

        That is what I was thinking as well. As it is now it has chine walk and at wot it runs at about a 30 angle leaning when looking at it from the back
