Hello all,
I just bought my first boat, a 1989 Key West 17 CC.... It came with an older Evinrude 50hp (about 1983-1985ish he told me). The motor was off a larger pontoon boat and has an 13" 11 pitch prop. He also had a 13" 18 pitch prop.
He told me with one person on the boat and the 13 11 prop, he could only go 23ish knots.
From my reading here It looks like a 12.5 13 would have been OEM.....
Just wondering which prop I should start out with???
Thanks in Advance for the advice and I am glad I found this forum - A wealth of Info!
