How about a replacement prop recommendation? Please recommend both aluminum and SS models.
Thanks!

1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
Lower RPM slightly and get slightly higher top speed.
2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless as a minimum.
Unknown manufacturer, aluminum, 3 blade with almost no cup.
Note: The prop blades look real thick. It also looks like it may have been damaged and repaired at some point.
3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required).
14 x 17
4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful)
5600 - 5800 RPM - 29 to 30 knots (on GPS) - 38 gal fuel, 2 people, average boat/fishing gear.
5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP
1997 Evinrude 90 SPL
6) Boat make model, year, length and weight
1997 Sunbird Neptune 180 CC, 18 ft. 2009 lb (dry) - Center Console In-shore bay boat.
Thanks!
