Thinking about a trip to the lake before winter sets in. How many sizes down do you guys go with your prop from normal sea level. I run a 32P most of the year at Berryessa
Thanks DA

Grads advice sounds about right. You're going to lose between 18 to 20 percent of your sea-level horsepower going to Tahoe depending on the air temperature. The only way to gain some of that back is to step-up your blower for more boost if your engine has a supercharger.

Was at tahoe yesterday ....no boat , just taking a drive . Temps were around 70 and the lake was flat / no waves and no boats.
