I'm prop shopping, so I can use my current aluminum stock prop for a spare.. The two times I've driven the boat, the current 21 pitch prop seems to have a good hole-shot, and nice top end. I now want to up-grade to SS, and have been reading about Mercury Stiletto props. I understand these are progressive props. So that on WOT the prop has a bigger pitch correct? And that if I choose a SS 21 pitch for my boat, it would be 22-23 at WOT, and therefore, my boat may be over propped? Then my guess is to check out a 19 pitch version of the Stiletto. That should be comparable to my stock prop correct?
Thanks in advance!

just my 2 cents..i have an 02 19ft bayliner br with the 3.0 it came with an aluminum prop 21 pitch..i put a 21 ss and gained a good 4-5 mph at the same rpm
What prop did you end up with? Is it progressive? All the dudes on the iboat prop fourm, said to go down at least 1"P from my current Aluminum prop... I get so confused? 4-5 mph is a significant change.

I did at first, but then the SS vs Aluminum thread I was involved with in Prop forums changed my mind. I actually found an even pitched SS prop. We figured with the rake and cupping this 20"p should be about perfect... I canceled the 19"p and ordered this one... Hope it performs as great as it looks...
