I just checked the UPS tacking info and it's out for delivery.
Side note...
Whoever writes an app for tracking Santa Clause is going to make PILES of money.
Anyway, I have the 21 footer with two 23" logs and a Yamaha T-50; and the reliable top speed is right around 18mph @ 6000rpm with a 14x9p Mercury prop. Although, I have a 14x10p on there at the moment because my 14x9 got chewed up near the end of the last season, and my first ride this spring had me running at a little over 19mph at 5800rpm.
Another side note...
If I ever find a way to get ahold of the software for the T-60 I should be able to swing a 14x10p @ 6000rpm and maybe hit 20mph.
Anyhow...
Once I get a chance to get the prop on I will be able to take a test ride and see if the Solas's supposedly greater stiffness and different design gives me any more speed.
Of course, once I get that darn roof taken care of and I can justify breaking loose the cash for an elliptical center log... That's when things will get interesting.
