Re: Ronda

John Mathews used a 2 Pack Clear on all the Lewis Hulls he Sold (best Mate was the spay painter ). As Ronda was purchased via his Business that may account for the hardness of the Clear-coat.

Re: Prop location!!!

Moving a Prop position has some effect but my belief has always been that the Rake on the blades controls the angle of Hull attack.
Positive angle to raise the Bow, negative angle to lift the Transom
