prop ideas

[zebbmann]

hello again. i had my boat out this past week and decided to let my son drive. well he hit a rock and tore up th prop. was looking for some thoughts on a replacement. currently i have a 10 3/8 with a 13 pitch. with 3 people runs about 30 mph on a 16 foot aluminum deep v. did some tubing with it also and it did well. all in all very pleased. i have done a few searches and i see mostly 14 pitch. anyone know if that will perform better or differently? thanks . motor is a 75 hp 1996 force...mainly looking for a little higher rpm and speed...any thoughts?

Re: prop ideas

with 3 people runs about 30 mph

At what RPM?

16 foot aluminum deep

I had a 16' fiberglass

anyone know if that will perform better or differently?

Maybe both.

75 hp 1996 force

Seems about right

higher rpm and speed...any thoughts?

Cant get both with a prop change.

The 14 will make you go faster if you have the motor to push it. My old 16' glass'r only went about 35 with a 17p and an 85 Johnnyrude. I even ran a 19p SS for a bit, but that was a little much.
I would think your motor should handle the 14p fine, unless its struggling now, if so stay with the 13p.
