05 Rinker 212 5.0 MPI alpha
I tried a 23p Stilletto prop, I was able to achieve 52 mph at 3900 rpms... I know it was way over propped. next i tried a 21p solas prop, i was able to achieve 56 mph at 4400 rpms, felt more snappy too. I noticed with the solas prop felt like the boat didnt ride as high out of the water compared to the stilletto prop.. is this just in my head? Can a prop give a boat more lift at speed?
