Guys,
I looked on my prop and the only info on it was a part number - 3850302
I've looked around the web and it appears that this is a 14 1/4x21 pitch prop. If I wanted to go to a stainless steel prop would I look for the same dimensions? Also where's a good place on line to buy SS props? TIA

What boat/motor?What is your present rpm and speed?What do you want to accomplish?
You might take a look at the Turning point Hustler props.Close to ss performance at al prices.

It appears your just about on it now though a ss or Turning point Hustler
would probably improve things a touch.Hole shot and top end don't go together.I believe the Turning Point is vented to improve hole shot and it may improve top end slightly.Either prop could gain anything form a few tenths to a couple of mph.You could get close to 3 Hustlers for the cost of one ss prop.I would start with a 21" Hustler then go to a 19 if it seems indicated.There are a couple of Turning point reports here check them out.
You also might check the Turning Point site.
