Currently, I have an aluminum 13 1/4"x 17p prop on my Crestliner 18' Bass Hawk which weighs approximately 1700lbs w/ engine. 3 people, average 20 gallons of gas and 3 adults on board. The current prop will give me a wot of 5500 rpms at 38 mph. Getting to plane is slow, tubing with the kids is okay, however I would like a better hole shot without loosing topend speed. Wondering if going to a SS 13 1/4" x 17p with cupping and better rake would help with the hole shot and maybe help with a little more top end? Does anybody have a similiar setup and have any recommendations. I was looking at the Stiletto Advantage SS prop. Thanks Brent
