On my 2000 Maxum 2100SR I currently have a 17P Michigan vortex prop, and was going to go down in pitch a little to get some more power but also considering a 4 blade. Would there be much gain in the 4 blade on this application?
MW doesnt make a 15P 4 blade, but Solas does. How does the Solas Rubex or Amita compare to the MW as far as quality, and also pitch comparison?
Does the Rubex prop fit a flo-torq or vortex hub, or would I need to get another hub or look at the amita series?
FYI: earlier this spring on a 70* day with a light load and 2 adults, trimmed in it hit 4500, trimmed out just shy of 4800. Which is right in the correct rpm range, but with a more normal load of 6 adults and more gear in the heat/humidity of summer it struggles to get 4400-4500 trimmed out. So that along with more towing power for skiing is the main reason for change.
If there wouldnt be much to gain with a 4blade or the solas design., it would be just as easy to swap to another MW but just considereing options at this point. Or any other suggestions?
