Don't set your sights too high on 35's. 32's and 37's are out there but very few guys had 35's. They were odd ball.

22,25,29,32,37,40. That's how they go. And roughly figure 400 rpm drop per gear step up. Ballpark.

your next choice is 22%. Your boat will be a lasy dog with those in there. Looks like you are about right for the 455 you have.

It comes out the hole real hard :eek: about 3200 then when it
planes it rpms real quick.
The boat has small tunnel with trim tabs. I will post a pic. of the boat when
i figure out how to get it off my screen saver.
