Hi Everyone
Great Site
I have read posts from this site and many others in regard to finding a stainless prop for a 2007 90 hp e-tec. The details for my boat are as follows a 1997 Aluminum Grumman 16 foot SP Single console, weight dry 680 lbs. I have calculated total boat weight to be 1580 lbs, this is for 2 guys, the motor (90 e-tec) and all the gear batteries trolling motor, fuel etc. I have narrowed my selction down to a viper 13.88 x 19 or a Turbo 13 1/4 x 19. I had a 1997, 70 hp Johnson on the boat previously with 13.78 x 17 aluminum prop. The WOT with one passenger was 37 mph at around 5500-5700 depending on the water conditions. Also just when I would trim the motor high the motor would cavitate and lose RPM's (just when the boat would be lifting nice and riding well). The boat had a tendencey to porpose before it was riding nice. I adjusted weight to accomadte for this over the years. All the weight is in the back of the boat, two batteries, fuel tank and the seats are rear situated. I have one shot at selecting a prop as my funds have gone into the e-tec. Any suggestions or insight on prop selection between the two I have identified or any others is appreciated.
