I was curious right now i have a 15 hp 2-stroke mariner, owner said 1448 but it measures 41 so it is a lowe 1442 or a 1440 mod-v. Right now motor has a 9-9 prop its scratched up on blades and one fin is slightly bent just a little but it is bent, with 2 people it seemed to captivate a little not much in the hole shot department. But it would fly i should have brought my gps but i forgot it, had to be going 22-30mph, question is since i had no gear wouldnt that get worse with more gear, it almost acted like tires slipping on ice if you get my drift. Dad thinks maybe prop is slipping it didnt sound like it but if i got a new prop it would come with a new prop slipper lol whatever it is called..
So question is has anyone switched to a 4 blade and had good results or like it way better so from what i have read is to match prop now i would go to a 4 blade 9-8 and since it is a 4 blade i should get better hole shot and the same speed????
I dont know i will be in rivers so i want it to have a good hole shot and speed thanks for the advise.
And forgot anyone used a hydro foil wing has it helped or is it a joke?
