  I am pretty sure which prop I am going to go with
(Catto Prop - 3 bladed), however, I am concerned with
the RPM's I will be turning. History!. I have an S1-S
with a 100 hr SMOH IO-360 C1C (200+ hp / Pistons are
LW10207S). I have the lightening holes on the flange
so I am not comfortable snapping with the heavy 76/60
Sensenich prop on it (~35 lbs). The Catto Prop is
going to have me turning around 3200+ RPM on my engine
(red line is 2750). Also, I need to make up some
difference with some weight up front. I was told some
are hanging weights on the engine mounts. Who does
this? Where do I get them? etc!

Need some additional input ASAP!
