Recently i used Precsion props recomendations on a prop. I filled out the on line form gave them the dimesion's & weight along with how the boat preforms @ wot and what i was looking for as to results.<br /><br />What they sent me was a Stilletto Bay Pro2 20 pitch four blade prop, and this thing is huge, it is actually larger than my 21 pitch Michigan wheel (Taller & wider)<br /><br />Now dont get me wrong here but my concern is this is way to much prop, do i just try it out or do i just tell them tooooooooo much here and get a different pitch?<br /><br />The boat is 1710 Starcraft open bow<br /><br />1 1300lbs dry<br />2 Mercruiser 3.0l 2:1 gears 4400-4800 mf's rating<br />3 17'<br />4 3 blade 21 pitch michigan wheel 4800 rprm @42mp<br />5.^ no hole shot poor sking (real arm builder)<br />6 19 pitch 3 blade MW 5100 rpm @ 37 mph<br />7 good hole shot but vents on turn easy<br />8 both props are alumiun<br />9 Tach is correct but the speedo is probably off<br />8 God id hate to waste money
No not at all, im just a bit reluctant to put it into the water. Im really assuming that it is far to big (pitch, cupping, displacement etc) If i dont use it can return it,and if i do use it well im a owner. And before i do i am looking for a few opinion's such as yours. And judging from your reply i assume you see no issue here. The thing is huge and looking @ there own web site it states 150hp I/O's............
