What's up fellas,
Ok so heres what I'm workin with. I've got a 78 Johnson 115 model 115ml78c. It's a swapped powerhead on a 85 Evinrude with power TNT. The hull is a 1977 starcraft SS 16 footer. I've got the motor mounted on the first hole ( highest point out of the water) without ventiliation.
Right now I'm turning 5500 rpms WOT on an aluminum Solas Amita 13.25x17. I would like to switch to SS as my prop has some wear on it as far as little dings and scratches. I've heard that even at 5500 I might be lugging a bit.
Just trying to get an opinion from you guys on which pitch/ diameter I should go with in switching to stainless. I'd like more top speed if possible. Right now I'm pushing 41.5gps with an average load. What brands should I consider? Any advice on aftermarket versus an oem? Thanks in advance guys!
