I think that there are plenty of variables that will influence the amount of prop walk and wash including the design of the propellor, hull design, location of the prop, aperture or not, hull-to-prop-tip distance, shaft angle, both vertical and horizontal, rudder design, prop rpm/speed, hull speed through the water, phase of the moon, etc. etc, but I’ll stick with my basic premise until disproved or ridiculed out of contention.

You should note that on the 29-2 the prop is offset from the center line of the hull and it is located to the port side of the small skeg leading into the rudder. The combined downward angle of the prop shaft PLUS the angle towards the port side of the hull is likely to worsen prop walk as compared to a prop located on the center line of the hull Fair Winds, Bob Hickson, P.
