Prop advice...Ezeke?

[Gary H NC]

On my 81 Johnson 175.
WOT with a Stiletto SS 19 pitch is 5100.

Thinking of buying an aluminum while Iboats has some deals going on.
Will a 17 pitch aluminum get me up close to what i need?

Was looking at the Solas or Volvo Penta props..

17 pitch should work for you - I prefer aluminum over unfinished stainless in salt water - but that's just me.

Thanks Ezeke. I thought i would get more rpm out of a 17 aluminum than i would a 17 ss.
Now to decide between the Solas Amita or the Volvo Penta prop,about the same price when you figure shipping.
