Yep, Really depends on boat & setup. I have a scratch built WOF, with AA45 and the AA45 muffled pipe. I am running a X450/3 blade, that has been relieved slightly. Still a little slow to come on pipe after a slow mill, so my next lake trip will be trying a X450/3 reduced .060" in diameter. Will also try a 646/3. This particular boat/engine combination does NOT like the X447/3 that runs so well on my CMB RS45 powered Thomas sport-40. I you think I can help you further, feel free to ask.
