Enjoy,
FF, I will disagree based on semantics. I know what you are getting at. It assures "design loading" not some reduced power type of loading. Can a Lehman handle some over propping? Probably. But how much?

And is the term "cruise prop" an accepted industry term and actual type of prop or is it something invented on the dock with a little backwater engineering?
