Hey all, ive had a hard time getting much information from my boat dealer and had some questions about taking my boat to Vancouver island next season. Ive heard from many people that they do this on a regular basis and my boat will be fine as long as the conditions arent bad. Its about 40 km's from where i'd be launching to the island. Its not actually open water since although its offshore the actual water is between the island and coast taking a look at google maps might give you a better idea if your not sure what i mean. Ive got a maxum 2100 SC 260hp 5 litre mpi, its a deep v hull and does pretty well in the rough. My question is what exactly should i be looking for in a prop for a trip like this? I plan on doing it several times this season so i dont mind getting another prop if its a good idea. Do i want to go for speed, good accel? I really dont know. Price of the prop and fuel efficiency arent really an issue. Right now im running a 19 pitch ss prop and get around 4900 rpm @ 45 knots. Should i just stick with that prop? It gets me on plane pretty quick and im pretty happy with it. But if anyone can recommend a spare prop that would be useful for this type of trip please share.
