When I bought my boat it came with a SS 20 pitch which is great for sea level. He put me into another SS prop but a 15 pitch. RPM's came up significantly along with speed both at Bear L and Strawberry. Of coarse SS is much more pricey.
Thanks Rodger, when I first bought this motor, a couple of years ago, I talked to neil about builting a prop for me. I decided to give it a year to see how the one I had would work. It has been ok at Willard but when I went up to BL a few weeks ago, it was really bad. I could hardly get up on plain and the RPM was down about 2000. Normal I'm at 5500 at Willard at BL it was 3500. I can't even image how bad it would be at Jordanelle or The Berry. Since this is new info, it might help me get the right prop and if he will let me try it out, all the better.
