At the boat ramp yesterday, a guy ran across the parking lot to tell me that he had the identical boat to mine and that I should do myself a favor and switch from the factory aluminum three blade prop to a stainless steel, four blade prop in 15 pitch from Proptech of Florida. At least I thought he said "Proptech," but I can't find a propeller maker in Florida by that name.
At any rate, the guy said that until he switched to the new stainless prop, he was really disappointed with the boat's performance under a load. It bogged down underway and was difficult or impossible to get up on plane. That's the same for my Trophy 1802 when I have a passenger or two on board.
So, I would be happy to invest in an expensive stainless prop if I could get at least one other recommendation from an owner of a Trophy 1802 with the Mercury 125 HP outboard who found a prop that they felt really improved performance. Any Trophy owners out there have a recommendation? Thanks in advance!
