REFLECTOR: CATTO

[Ron Brown]

But he does have an IO540 hanging on the rear so he doesn't need as flat a 
pitch as a IO360 would need.

Tom, I'd suggest giving Craig Catto a call (209-754-3553).  He can give you 
a pretty good idea of what the climb and cruise props would do for you at 
that altitude.  He KNOWS his props!!!

He even has a new web page on Velocity IO540 props:
