Can anyone recommend a prop model that is known to provide very good bow lift? I find on my boat the bow stays quite low when I am on a plane. I'd like to get the bow up a bit and have more of the boat out of the water.

When I run the motor trimmed all the way out it doesn't make much differance at all.

I've tried a TP Hustler 13.25X17, an OMC 14x17 and a BRP 13.5x15. All 3 blade alum props.

If you tell us what year boat, make and model with description we could better tell if you can indeed get more lift and what may work best.

Re: Props with bow lift

This was an old thread of mine. I ended up going with a Solas HR Titan 4 blade stainless 15p. It provides great overal lift for my boat which is a 1969 slickcraft ss170V.

Now when I trim out the bow comes up nicely.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Cheers
