That motor takes the same as the 2000 I've got, 15 spline.

This was the 14x19ss and 14.8x17al fuel burn numbers.
5000rpm-42mph-19.5gph-2.15mpg
3800rpm-30mph-10.5gph-2.85mpg
1250rpm-5mph - 2.5gph -2.0mpg

I'm not sure what the WOT rpm's are supposed to be for that engine. I just know I never achieved them with these two props.

thats awesome information....how did you calculate this? How do you get "fuel burn" numbers? And thanks for the link, that place is right down the road here ;)

If I decide to go new, where do you usually buy?

Would you believe the local hardware store is where I order props from? Not sure if the guy in that department is still alive.
Got a Lowrance LMF-200 gauge, using the EP-10 fuel flow sensor to get the fuel burn numbers.

Thats amazing, guess you haven't had to buy a prop in a bit, huh? Thanks again for the info...

you can also get a non-cupped prop cupped, that adds a bit of push & drops your WOT RPMS a bit, for cheap.
