Hello all, I have a new to me 92 stratos 274 fs with a 90 evinrude crossfire. The porp on the boat looks like the original aluminum 3 blade 13 3/8 17 prop. I have ran the boat by myself GPS speed of 35 and with the family GPS speed of 33. I am turning 4900 rpms. The motor runs strong and it gets on plane quick with just me in the boat and a little longer with the kiddos. I tried to play with the prop calculators and it seems I should be going faster with this prop. I am gonna replace the prop my question is, would you stay with the same size or start playing with the pitch. What would you do? I am leaning buying the same prop but stainless and see what happens then possibly buying another depending on performance. My main goal is to use this for fishing and getting to hunting spots in the fall but the kids also like to go out sometimes so another prop for tubing would be in order. Thank you all for reading this wall of text!
