Looking for any suggestions on a good all round prop for my Senza 206.. I'm currently running the stock aluminum 21 X 14.3 3 blade and want to get into a SS 3 or 4 blade.. Here are my stats..
1. Year, make and model of boat
2006 Larson Senza 206
2. Length, width and base weight of boat, look for boat decal on back of boat
20?6? long with a width of 8?3? and the weight is 3150lb dry
2a.What is the maximum recommended HP for your boat
270HP
3. Number of people and gallons of gas normally on boat and what do you use the boat for
Two adults and one child.. 20 gallons of gas usually.. The boat is used for cruising, tubing and wakeboarding
4. Year, make. manufacturer and model of motor and recommended Wide Open Throttle (WOT) range
2006 Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI, SX drive.. WOT is 4600 to 5000 RPM
5. HP and gear ratio of motor IMPORTANT
270HP.. Gear ratio is 1.6
6. N/A
7. WOT RPM and speed from your current prop and how much gas and how many people were in the boat for the test data and is the speed by GPS.
RPM: 4600.. Speed: 54MPH via GPS.. Number of people: 2 adults, one child.. Amount of fuel: 20 Gal
8. Make, model, diameter, pitch, number of blades and whether SS or aluminum prop and does it have a hydrafoil, dolefin or trim tabs
Volvo Penta 21 X 14.3 aluminum 3 blade.. No hydrafoil, dolefin or trim tabs
9. Has your motor been tuned up lately and have you checked that the carburetor butterfly is opening all the way by just pushing the throttle at the helm and not at the carburetor, checked compression, and looked at the plugs and checked spark as well as timing and advance, all of the foregoing could be the reason your prop is not attaining full RPM
Motor is tuned and checked out good.. It only has 60 hours..
10. What problems are you trying to cure or what are you looking for the boat to do that it is not doing the way you think it should or to your expectations and does the prop show any damage that you can see
The current prop is in perfect shape.. I?d like to get the motor up to it?s max RPM at WOT.. A better hole shot would be nice but don?t want to sacrifice to much top end.. I want to go SS and I was going to order a 19P Stiletto Advantage II (three blade) but then started reading about the four blade props like the Stiletto BAY PRO II.. I just want the best all around performance out of the boat..
