Not hub, pulled prop and had it check at by my local prop shop. Tech said it's in good shape.

Glad you found a cause. It is still surprising that you lost speed but not rpm.

The information offered here is only general in nature and should not be construed as complete factory approved procedures, techniques, or specifications. Always use the proper service manual for your motor, up-to-date service literature, the correct tools, and have an understanding of how to proceed with troubleshooting and repair methods. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with a procedure, a situation, or a technique, enlist the services of a factory trained technician.

Could the defective coil somehow affected the tachometer reading?
