I've got a 98 with the 502 w/ a b1. I've only seen 43mph in it, but I think I'm underpropped

By chance do you have it easily accessible? I need information/measurements on the swim-deck ladder screws! One of mine rusted off and it's in the storage yard. :)
I keep mine in a storage facility about an hour from my house, I'll possibly be around it this weekend, send me a pic of what you want measured and I'll try to get it for ya! Would also love to see pics of your 272!! Also what prop are you running? I've got a Rev4 not sure of pitch though!

I have a 4-bladed 14x22. The manual says stock is a 14 5/8x23. I'm not sure how much of a difference swapping it out is going to be, given that I'm really only talking about a 14 sqin difference and 1" of pitch. I'd probably get better results from trim tabs like you've got..

Attached a recent picture from the lake.

Also, I was kidding about the bolt. I keep mine in a storage lot about 5 minutes from my house. I'm perfectly able to go measure it, but young kids and work have kept me from being able to take care of it. If I can't get it fixed by next weekend, I'll just use zip ties like I did last weekend.
