I have an 18' Galaxie sst powered by 3.8 OMC/ Stringer outdrive. My brother struck the prop aground and chewed it up, plus took a small chunk off the tip of the rudder. I need to replace the prop, but while I'm going through the trouble, should I go with a different prop? Mind you I can't tell by looking at it what pitch it is, and it is parked about 150 miles away at my Dad's lakehouse. I haven't measured it, but the dia. looks no larger than 14" and is probably more in the 13" range. At WOT she makes about 40 mph at (I think) 4500 or so. However, the power trim is stuck down, so I can't get her bow up to find my 'true' top speed. I'm guessing I'd only get 5 mph more though. While I have people learning on her, I'd rather stay with aluminum or plastic for price and save the SS for when everyone's F-ups are out of their system, but she's a ski boat...Assuming my reccollection of WOT data etc. is close, point me at what you'd get for towing performance AND good top end...on a budget.
