what kind of motor do you have

Re: Props
 

I have a 175 Yamaha, But most all here run 150's and the 17 is what seems to work best most!

But try what ever you want and make you chose. Call your local mariner and tell him what you have and what you want, I am sure he will also tell you a 17.

But before anything Check that the tac is telling you the truth!! 5800 with a 19 is way over and makes no sence?? And that means you will have to move up to a 21 and if you think you catch air now wait till you try that!

Never heard of q boat in this class that needed a 21!!

Re: Props
 

thanks i will do that

Re: Props
 

Mine works best w/a large DIAMETER prop 15 1/4" and a 17 pitch...I've tried a LOT of different props over the last several months and concluded a big blade "pushes" our V20s better than the extra revs a smaller diameter allows

1000rpms/4.9mph...2000/8.3...3000/14.8...4000/27.1...4400(top cruise)/30.5...5000/35.2...and WOT is 6000/42mph (GPS)....that's as good as I can get it and really don't expect there's any more there to be gotten in terms of performance... ;) ;D...

CB, he just ain't gonna let you up over that prop, is he?...

Re: Props
 

I run a 21" prop on my outboard.

Re: Props
 

What kinda numbers you gettin' w/ the 21?...what HP?...

Re: Props
 

No he's not!
:-[ I'm just gonna have to live up to the reputation he's building for me and shred that new prop as well. ;D Funny thing is..........I don't do that to my props. ;) 8)

Re: Props
 

Smart thinkin', CB... w/ what MJ says he's payin' for the props, you can't hurt him too bad...don't mess it up too bad...just nick it a little... ;) ;D...

Hey, MJ...did I see it's in the high 80's up there on the cape...I can only assume all the snow's melted... ;D...

Re: Props

Re: Props
