ok I just got this boat and the prop needs to be replaced.the boat is a 1995 polar 17ft not sure of the model but it looks like a flat bottom boat with slight angle to it.it also has a tunnel its about 18" wide 2" high.I am unsure how much the boat weighs. but it has a center console,t top poleing platform.and a 12 gallon gas can.ok now for the engine it is a 1992 mercury 100hp 4 cylinder.i'm not sure what the prop is now but the boat tops out at about 38mph.the tach does not work so i'm not sure of the rpms. I will be getting it fixed soon.should this boat go faster. the boat jumps up on plane. but I would like it to be a little faster.also I do have a jackplate that i will be installing.thanks for any help

Re: need some prop help please.

i took the old prop off and it does not say the pitch on it. it has stamped stiletto 11317 m1317 thats all that it has on the back.does that mean its a 13"x17p. if do you think i could go to a higher pitch. thanks for any help
