ordered a 543 today :)
The new 2079 arrived today. Tons of clearance between hull and no issues with trailer clearance. Water testing with 4000lbs of ballast tomorrow.

Got my new acme installed today. Due to boredom and general OCD, I even went through the lapping process with the install. Was surprised to see that without doing it, only had 30-40% contact. After about 20 mins of lapping, was around 90%. Not sure if it really makes a difference, but slid in place nice and locked right in. I've never done it before, but saw another post with a nice tutorial. Also, used a rental puller from autozone which worked like a charm.
What, you can rent a puller from autozone?
Whats a lapping process?

It's a process of fitting the prop to the shaft. Apparently it's a good idea for a tapered shaft like we have. I had never done it before, but was pretty simple and you can get everything from napa for less than $10.
